The gentle pace and the golden glow of the setting sun make this a moment to cherish.
This tour also includes opportunities to relax and enjoy refreshments at a traditional Bedouin-style camp. Savor some Arabic coffee, dates, and light snacks as you unwind from your adventures. The camp’s ambiance, with its authentic decor and serene surroundings, enhances the desert experience and provides plenty of chances for memorable photographs.
For those looking to delve deeper into the region’s traditions, the tour offers insights into the desert’s ecology and its importance to the local community. The desert vistas, with their rolling dunes and vast open spaces, provide a stunning backdrop for your adventure, ensuring you leave with memories to last a lifetime.

It sounds like you had an enjoyable time, especially with the buggy ride and camel ride, but I understand your frustration with the pricing difference. It's always great to have a guide who goes the extra mile for you, capturing memories with photos and videos. It’s good to hear the camp and meal were to your liking as well. It’s unfortunate that you paid more than your friends, but hopefully, the experience itself was still worth it. Would you recommend the experience to others despite the cost difference?

It sounds like there were some logistical challenges, especially with the wait for the buggy and missing out on sandboarding, which is disappointing when you’re hoping to fit everything in. On the positive side, it’s great that the guides were friendly and helpful, which can make a big difference in a situation like that. Despite the delays, would you consider giving the experience another try if they improved the organization, or would you look for something else next time?

This is our second time booking with Ocean Air Travels, and we had the best time with our guide, Dennis, who even got our buggies upgraded. Last time, we did the 7-hour tour with BBQ in the evening, which we really enjoyed. This time, we did the half-day morning tour, which was cooler and less busy, and we liked it even more. Dennis also mentioned their new horse camp, which I'd love to try next time. We enjoyed every moment of the buggy ride and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai, whether it's the full or half-day tour.

The pick-up and transportation by our guide, Sunny, were excellent and very customer-oriented. However, I felt the activity was overpriced.
