Navigate the desert landscape on a powerful quad bike, experiencing the freedom and thrill of off-road exploration. Safety briefings and necessary equipment are provided to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience.
The journey continues to the traditional Al Khayma Desert Camp, where a warm Arabian welcome awaits. Experience a serene camel ride, offering a timeless method of desert travel and a chance to connect with the region's rich heritage. At the camp, immerse yourself in cultural activities such as henna painting, shisha smoking, and traditional performances including Tanoura and Khaliji dance shows. The camp's ambiance, enhanced by authentic décor and hospitality, provides a genuine glimpse into Bedouin life.
As evening descends, indulge in a sumptuous BBQ dinner featuring a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Savor the flavors of Emirati, Moroccan, and Arabian cuisines, complemented by live cooking stations and traditional sweets. The dining experience, set under a canopy of stars, is accompanied by mesmerizing fire shows, adding to the enchanting desert atmosphere. Unlimited soft drinks, tea, and coffee are available to refresh you throughout the evening.
Conclude your desert adventure with a stargazing session, utilizing high-powered telescopes to explore the night sky's constellations. The clear desert skies offer an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the cosmos, guided by knowledgeable staff. After this serene experience, you'll be comfortably transported back to your hotel, reflecting on a day filled with adventure, culture, and natural beauty.

It was absolutely fantastic and honestly the highlight of the trip. We chose the evening session, arriving at the camp right at sunset, which was perfect. Definitely try the quad biking—it’s a must! The Arabic Shemagh scarf isn’t necessary at all, so there’s no need to buy one at the first stop—the sand wasn’t a problem. Go ahead and book this experience; you won’t regret it!

his was the highlight of our trip to Dubai! Everything was exceptionally well-organized and thoughtfully planned, with friendly staff and incredible food. We’ll definitely do it again. We highly recommend OceanAir Travels for anyone looking for an outstanding experience. We opted for the 7-hour safari, and it was absolutely the right choice. Pickup was punctual, and the off-road vehicle was clean, spacious, and well air-conditioned. Upon arrival at the camp, we were welcomed with a variety of drinks and the option to purchase traditional clothing. The quad biking session lasted about 25 minutes and was an absolute thrill. Next, we ventured into the desert for a drive that was both fun and comfortable—not strenuous at all. While the time in the desert itself was relatively short, around 15-20 minutes, it was a memorable experience. At the camp, we were entertained with fantastic performances, and both we and our kids (8 and 17) thoroughly enjoyed every moment. If you’re visiting Dubai, a desert safari is an absolute must!

This was hands down the best experience ever! Mehdi was an incredible tour guide, truly attentive to every detail. From the warm welcome at the start to his thoughtful guidance throughout the journey, everything was perfect. At our first stop, he showed us where to grab drinks and find headscarves, which was so helpful. He suggested riding in a Kaddy with four people instead of going solo on a quad, and he was absolutely right—it was so much more fun! Don’t hesitate to spend a bit more for this experience—it’s totally worth it, especially as you zip past camels in the Kaddy. The adventure continued with a camel ride and an exciting car safari. When one person in our group felt unwell, Mehdi immediately stepped in to care for her with such kindness. If you’re booking a tour, cross your fingers for a guide as amazing as Mehdi—you won’t regret it!

It was an amazing tour! Lahcen from Oceanair picked us up from our hotel right on time. We then drove to the camp with another family, and along the way, he shared lots of interesting information about Dubai. When we arrived at the camels, Lahcen made sure we had enough time to enjoy all the activities. We had booked the optional quad biking, and it was fantastic! After that, we went dune bashing and sandboarding in the desert—definitely the highlight of the day. It was so much fun! To top it off, Lahcen took some incredible photos of us during a photo shoot, and they turned out great. Finally, we headed back to the hotel. A quick tip: plan for about 5 hours for the whole trip, as Lahcen really takes his time to ensure you have the best experience. There were also bottles of water in the car, and refreshments and snacks at the camp.

Many companies offer similar desert tours featuring sand bashing, dune surfing, camel riding, and quad biking. What truly sets one apart is the tour guide — your driver and companion for the 4-6 hour journey. Enter Sandy, our guide, who was professional, friendly, engaging, and an exceptional communicator. Our experience with him was nothing short of fantastic. Sandy arrived at our hotel lobby promptly at 2:30 PM, as scheduled, and took us on an unforgettable journey through Dubai to the desert. Along the way, we made a stop at the Camel Race Track, where Sandy shared fascinating insights about the sport. The Falcon photo-stop was perfectly timed and enjoyable. At the desert's edge, we had the chance to ride a camel, which was a delightful experience. Then came the adrenaline rush: quad biking! Sandy gave us valuable safety tips that ensured we could enjoy it confidently. The dune bashing, however, was the highlight. Sandy’s STUNNING driving skills were on full display as he expertly navigated the dunes, making the adventure both thrilling and completely safe. This trip was excellent value for money, and Sandy’s expertise and charisma truly elevated the experience. Guides like him are an absolute asset to any company!
