4.00We had a wonderful time on this experience. The camel riding and ambiance on our sunset trip was amazing, the food beyond delicious. Sure, it was busy because it is a touristy destination, but we didn’t let that get in the way of having a good time. I’m not sure how authentic the fire dancing was, but it was still entertaining. Worth a trip if you want to get out of city for an evening.

4.00Al Khayma Camp was a "must" visit in Dubai. We enjoyed the sunset camel ride, the food and the show very much. The guy leading the camel was funny. It was the driver that was not professional. I think he was new. He was half hour late to pick us up from the hotel. He was unfamiliar with the road. He was texting and talking on the phone while driving. The car smells bad like smoking..... Other than the driver, I really enjoyed the camp
Unforgettable Desert Experience with Mr. Sufyan & OceanAir Travel!

5.00Our Dubai desert tour with OceanAir Travel was truly exceptional, thanks to our guide, Mr. Sufyan. From the moment he checked in with us before arrival at the hotel, he ensured everything went smoothly. He was incredibly professional, courteous, and attentive to every detail. Sufyan made sure we got to enjoy both the Camel and Horse Ride experiences, guided us around the beautiful Al Khayma Camp, and ensured we didn’t miss any of the fantastic activities, including the BBQ dinner, henna art, falcon photography, and live shows. He was also very considerate of passengers who preferred to skip the dune bashing for personal reasons, making sure they were comfortable and accommodated. His knowledge, kindness, and dedication added immense value to the experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. If you're planning a Dubai desert tour, I highly recommend requesting Sufyan—he truly made our trip unforgettable! Thank you, Sufyan & OceanAir Travel!
