Additional Info

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

It is highly recommended that you eat 2-3 hours before the safari trip to avoid sickness during the dune bashing.

We highly recommend having international travel insurance, as self-driving activities carry inherent risks that may lead to serious injury. Coverage for such incidents is typically provided only through your personal insurance.

The quad biking segment is solely the participant's responsibility. Any damage, injuries sustained or items lost during the quad tour are not covered by insurance

All desert safari drivers are well trained and licensed for safari drives. The 4WD vehicles are fully insured and well equipped with all necessary safety features, such as roll bars, seat belts, government trackers, GPS, GMS, and a First Aid box

OceanAir Travels shall not be responsible for any kind of loss, accident, sickness or injury.

Casual, loose fitting clothing is recommended in the summer, along with a jacket in the winter

Please note that if your skin is sensitive to henna, it is advised not to do it.

Entertainment activities:- As per UAE law during the holy month of Ramadan and other religious holidays you can watch Tanoura and Fire shows only in our desert camps (Al Khayma) as there will be some restrictions for Ladies Khaliji Dance.

The 11:30 AM Timing slot comes with a Lunch buffet, and it doesn't include the Star Gazing & Fire show since it's during the day timing

Pickup will be within 45min prior to your selected departure time. Please be ready at the hotel lobby on time.

Pick-up timing is subject to change due to the emerging summer heat: 1 hour earlier in the morning and 1 hour later in the afternoon. A notification shall be sent in advance in the case of any change.

I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5 BBQ at Al Khayma Camp*! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized, fun, and memorable. The highlight of the tour was our guide, Sunil, who was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the entire trip. The dune bashing was thrilling, the camel ride was a unique experience, and the evening at the Al Khayma camp was nothing short of magical — complete with delicious 5-star BBQ, live entertainment, and a warm, authentic atmosphere. Sunil made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable and took the time to explain everything with a smile. His hospitality and kindness really elevated the entire experience. Highly recommended — a must-do tour in Dubai, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Sunil as your guide!
An unforgettable experience – ask for Safeer!

I booked the Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5 BBQ at Al Khayma Camp* and it exceeded every expectation! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and seamless. I got to ride an ATV across the desert, go sandboarding, enjoy a peaceful camel ride, and then relax with a delicious BBQ dinner and incredible live performances. It was the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and fun. The highlight of the entire experience was our guide, Safeer. He truly made the day unforgettable. He was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. Safeer engaged with everyone in our mixed-age group, ensuring we all felt comfortable, safe, and included in every activity. He’s also a fantastic photographer - he took the most amazing shots for us - and his dune driving skills are top notch (so much fun)! If you’re considering this tour, definitely request Safeer. He took what was already a great experience and made it exceptional. Highly recommend!

The desert safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. Our English-speaking licensed driver ( Sunil) made the journey smooth, informative, and enjoyable. Dune bashing and sandboarding were thrilling, and the sunset photo stop was breathtaking. The Al Khayma Camp offered warm hospitality with delicious Gaymat, Gahwa, and dates. We loved the camel rides, henna painting, falcon photo opportunity, and trying on traditional Arabic attire. The Shisha area was relaxing, and the camel feeding was a fun touch. The entertainment—Tanoura, Khaliji dance, and fire show—was fantastic, and stargazing made the evening magical. The 5-star buffet had great vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and the unlimited drinks kept us refreshed. A well-rounded, unforgettable experience!
