Awesome Morning Desert Safari Experience

5.00Qasim from OceanAir Travels was our guide and chauffeur for the Morning Desert Safari. He has full knowledge of the tour and anything related to it. He is a good conversationalist and put us at ease during the 4 hours of the tour. Very patient with our queries and knows the terrain like the back of his hand. The whole experience of Camel ride, Falcon photo op, Desert buggy rides(Separate coat) along with photo op and final sand dunes drive is great. I would recommend anyone either solo, friends, couples and families to take this tour. It is worth the money spent.
Great experience!

Request Fadi - Best Instructor!

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable experience at the quad bike adventure in Al Khayma, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible sand dune instructor, Fadi. From the moment he picked us up, Fadi set the tone for the entire experience. During the drive, he took the time to chat with us, explain what to expect, and walk us through the adventure step by step. His friendly conversation and clear explanations immediately made us feel relaxed, informed, and excited. Once we arrived, Fadi continued to stand out for his professionalism, confidence, and genuine passion for what he does. He explained everything thoroughly and made sure safety was always the top priority, while still keeping the experience thrilling and fun. Whether you’re a beginner or someone with prior experience, he has an incredible ability to tailor his guidance to each person’s comfort and skill level, which made the ride both empowering and enjoyable. Throughout the experience, Fadi constantly checked in on everyone, offering encouragement and ensuring we were comfortable at all times. He knew exactly where to take us for the best dune routes and the most stunning views, turning the ride into something truly memorable rather than just a standard activity. His calm leadership and expertise gave us complete confidence as we navigated the sand dunes. What truly sets Fadi apart is his positive energy and how much he genuinely cares about his guests. The entire experience felt personal, well-organized, and never rushed. You can clearly tell he loves what he does, and that passion shines through in every part of the adventure. If you’re considering the quad bike experience at Al Khama, I highly recommend it—and if you’re lucky enough to have Fadi as your instructor, you’re guaranteed an outstanding experience. He turned an exciting activity into a true 5-star, once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We would absolutely do this again and would request him without hesitation!
A well-organized family trip with excellent content and a friendly, professional guide.

Great kids friendly desert safari

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It was truly a great experience. We had young kids with us which is why half day tour was perfect for us. Our tour guide Qasim was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. He made sure that we all could enjoy irrespective of our age whether elderly parents or young kids in the group. We forgot a phone holder in his car - he even came back to return that to our hotel. The entire experience was very seamless and enjoyable! We highly recommend this - value for money in the peak tourist season.
