We had the best afternoon/evening on our tour with OceanAir Travels. Communication prior to the tour was excellent. Our drivers, Ramzan & Zeeshan were the ultimate guides, providing us with an exicting drive and lots of interesting information. Our group ranged from ages 76 down to 19 years old and everyone had the best time. It was action packed with 4WDing, quad biking, camel riding & sandboarding as well as a delicious buffet dinner and non-stop entertainment. The tour was excellent value for money and I would recommend anyone visiting Dubai to take this same tour. Thank you Ocean Air Travels for a great experience.

If there is anyone in the group that doesn't like going over the sand dune it is ruined for all others in the group. We paid for and expecting sand dune bashing, when one person said they didn't like it there was only sedate driving over the sand dunes. We certainly didn't get what we paid for and believe a partial refund of payment is due to us.

Wow! You MUST have done this when you are on holiday in Dubai!! It's all arranged from a-z, you don't have to think about anything. Mega fun experience! Our guide Sarmad afridi guided us super well, and thanks to him this was an unforgettable experience.

Our driver Rashid was terrific and the day started well but when we got to the tents after the camel ride where our driver had to leave us the organisation started to fall away and we got conflicting advice about getting our food from the buffet so that some of us missed out on dessert and were all having to rush our meals because the shows started The fire show at the end was fantastic and a standout of the night Just needed announcements and clarity on getting our food and how much time we had to eat it
