Zeesham was a wonderful tour guide! He is a wizard behind the wheel and just glided over the dunes. He is also very personable and told us many fun and interesting facts about the local history and people. The food was excellent and the Camel rides were fun. The camp was very well organised and great to explore.

Glad we did the night trip, the daytime temperature was in the high 30's and would have been uncomfortable. Our guide, Nadeem, was as dry as the desert air but a lot of fun. He made sure we all were comfortable and well supplied with water. The food was excellent, but be quick as they rotate it out quickly, so all you can eat isn't quite true if you're too slow.
Waiting around to start for 45mins in desert heat to get started wasn't the greatest start. The Dune bashing and desert camp themselves were incredible. The food was lovely and everyone was super friendly. The show at the end of the night was a bit week and odd but the fire show at the very end was very good and rescued it.
This was so fun. The desert safari tour along with BBQ dinner and shows were all great. I would book again
The experience for as as family was unbelievable!! Specially Yasir our guide was linked with our kids and responded to there needs!! Thanks Yasir!
It was a such an enjoyable experience from start to finish, our driver, Safeer was such a funny and very attentive! Also such a great drive! Absolutely amazing memorable experience 🙌🏻💖
Fantastic afternoon/evening out and very worth the money. Absolutely action packed. Our guide was fantastic and full of information and facts, checking in on us and making sure that we had the best day. The food was lovely.
We had an amazing desert safari. Imran was a fantastic guide and looked after us all so well and made sure we had the best experience. The quad bikes were brilliant & definitely worth it!
What an amazing afternoon and evening we had. The sand dunes and sand boarding while the sun set were beautiful. There was fun and excitement and our guide/driver Zada Irfan was the best. He made sure we experienced the best of everything and had great photos to take home to remember it by. It was very good value.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fantastic experience! We had such a brilliant afternoon and evening on our desert safari. The activities were great fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. A special thank you to our tour guide, Zeeshan, who was absolutely brilliant! So friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. He really made the whole experience even more enjoyable, and we genuinely couldn't have asked for a better guide. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai. Thank you for such a memorable day!
Amazing experience ! Well organized and had a great variety of activities packed into the day ! Don’t hesitate to book !
We had a wonderful experience booking with OceanAir Travels, we got exactly what the package said! Our Tour guide Abid Wahid was incredible and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure our group was satisfied and comfortable. The ATV experience was amazing! Along with the camp site, dune bashing , dinner, horse and camel show. We closed off with a wonderful fire show 10/10. Food was also amazing! I would def do this again!! Great work to the OceanAir team for arranging such an amazing experience.
This was my 6th time doing this tour, I dint know why they have changed it, the Al Khama camp is so much better, the food was good but not as good and entertainment was dire, normally it starts before 8 and goes for over an hour, this was worst one I’ve been to. There were some camels led in background, some sort of semi dance and horses led in circles. Sort the entertainment out as it used to be brilliant! Disappointed would not book this again unless reverts to what used to be!
Very fun, the driver was great, food was amazing! Definitely recommend.
This tour was outstanding. We received confirmation message the day prior with instructions and on the day with the name of our driver. Akbar Jan was an excellent - punctual and very pleasant. His car was spotless and he offers explanations of the activités throughout the day. We rode ATVs,went dune bashing which was amazing, fell off a sand board but laughed all the way nonetheless, had a camel ride, got a henna tattoo and ate the most delicious BBQ dinner with the bread cooked in the tandoor. Overall an excellent day - very well organised !
Dilshad Ali was an amazing tour guide and the whole family enjoyed it from start to finish! Many fun activities throughout the day and an unreal camp experience!
Amazing experience and our guide Zada was the Best. I did a last minute booking and yet it did not disappoint
They rush you throughout this tour and you spend more time traveling to and from where the activities take place. The price they charge is not worth it. But other than those challenges, this was a very nice but short experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Premium Red Dunes Desert Safari Experience! Our Premium Red Dunes Desert Safari at Khyma Camp was one of the absolute highlights of our Dubai trip! From the moment we were picked up, everything was exceptionally well organised, professional and enjoyable. The red dunes were absolutely breathtaking, and the dune drive was an incredible experience. The whole safari was perfectly paced, giving us enough time to enjoy every part of the experience without feeling rushed. Khyma Camp was truly something special. The atmosphere, beautiful setting, entertainment, food and attention to detail created a wonderful Arabian experience that our entire group enjoyed. Being a large group of family and friends, we especially appreciated how welcoming and accommodating everyone was. A special thank you to all the staff who looked after us so warmly and professionally. Their friendliness and excellent service made the evening even more memorable. We felt genuinely cared for throughout the experience. From the stunning desert sunset to the camp, dinner, entertainment and the beautiful Arabian atmosphere, every part of the evening was memorable. 🌅 Beautiful scenery. 🐪 Authentic desert experience. 🏜️ Exciting red dune adventure. 🍽️ Wonderful camp and dining experience. ✨ Excellent service and attention to detail. This was much more than just a desert safari — it was an experience we will remember for a very long time. Thank you to the entire Khyma Camp and safari team for making our Dubai holiday even more special. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai! 🇦🇪❤️
Great experience, for a very good prices I got to do the buggy ride, dune bashing, camel riding, amazing delicious dinner, and a spectacular horse camel and fire shows! Our guide Ubaid Ullah made it even better - he was right on time, very kind and gave lots of fun facts, clear instructions. 100% would do this again.
What an experience! The Dubai desert safari was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Our driver, Istikar, was brilliant and genuinely made the whole experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had a great time throughout. His picture-taking skills are also top-notch — he knew all the best spots and got some amazing photos for us! The dune bashing was an absolute highlight, and the camp afterwards was great, with plenty of activities to get involved in. The BBQ was also really tasty and the perfect way to finish the evening. A brilliant experience that I’d definitely recommend, and a special thanks to Istikar for making it even more memorable!
Incredible experience with an outstanding tour guide . The tour composed of unique experiences,l that showcased Dubai’s culture, food and nature. Highly recommend this company!
5 stars! We really enjoyed our Desert Safari with OceanAir Travels. Our guide, Ilyas, was fantastic, patient, and an excellent photographer. The ATV, dune rides, and food at the camp were all top-notch. Highly recommend for families. >
The trip was great but was not prepared for sand dune rides. It was wild for us. We were sitting at back off 4 wheel vehicle and didnt like the rough rides.
Our Dubai desert safari with Ocean Air Travels was fantastic from start to finish. From the quad biking, camel ride & horse riding to the delicious BBQ dinner, there was so much to enjoy. We also got to watch a beautiful desert sunset, which was truly unforgettable. 🌅 The live cultural shows during dinner were a lovely way to immerse ourselves in the local culture & we really enjoyed the traditional music & atmosphere. 🎶✨ We also loved the falcon experience, getting to take photos & gently pat the falcon, along with the tea, coffee & refreshments throughout the evening. And then came the stargazing! 🌌 We looked through the telescope & were incredibly lucky to see Saturn so clearly - absolutely magical. 💫 It was such a special moment & something we’ll genuinely cherish. But honestly, Rashid was the highlight of the entire experience! 🙌 He was incredibly friendly, attentive, knowledgeable & genuinely passionate about making sure we had the best time. When it came to the sunset, Rashid was so up for getting the perfect photos for us & he took so many amazing pictures throughout the experience. He just knew what to do, where to stand and how to capture the moment. 📸🌅 He went above & beyond at every opportunity & his warmth, energy & hospitality made the whole experience feel personal & extra special. Rashid was genuinely LEGENDARY. ⭐️ A special mention also goes to Aman, who was our guide for the horse ride. It was our 1st experience riding a horse & Aman did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable & ensuring it was fun, enjoyable & truly memorable. 🐎 Rashid and Aman are both an absolute credit to Ocean Air Travels. If you’re booking a Dubai desert safari, we highly recommend this experience & if you’re lucky enough to have Rashid as your guide, you’re in for an extra-special day! 10/10 — incredible experience, amazing people, a beautiful sunset, unforgettable memories & even Saturn! 🪐 What an experience to cherish! 🏜️🌅🌌
So much fun. Definitely recommend. Dubai desert was great, the food was great and sliding down a sand hill was awesome.
We enjoyed our trip, worth the money. Highly recommend
What an amazing experience from start to finish. We spent around 9 hours with our driver and guide, Elias, and I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He picked us up exactly at the time we were given on WhatsApp and from the moment we met him he was friendly, respectful and very knowledgeable. He explained everything properly throughout the day and treated everyone with kindness. We ended up doing the quad bikes (I did the driving 😂), followed by the desert safari, and everything was so well organised. Elias looked after us the whole time. Even something as simple as the traditional head scarves — every time we took them off, he would patiently help us put them back on again! Another thing we really appreciated was the photos. Everywhere we stopped, Elias would take our phones and take pictures of us without us even having to ask. And he actually took some amazing shots! We came away with so many great memories from the day because of him. The 4x4 was brand new, very comfortable and Elias was an excellent driver. The whole day ran smoothly and never felt rushed or disorganised. The cherry on top was the desert camp. Food was genuinely 10/10, with plenty to choose from and ice-cold soft drinks included. There was complimentary Arabic coffee, tea and sweets, henna tattooing, camel rides and the evening shows including an amazing fire show. And a special mention for the air-conditioned tents — an absolute lifesaver for us melting Brits in the middle of the Dubai desert 😂. The whole experience was fantastic value and we loved every second of it. If you're booking this safari and you get Elias as your driver/guide, you're in very good hands. He genuinely helped make the experience special for us. 10/10 experience and 10/10 for Elias. Highly recommended!
Amazing time! Was great from beginning to end. Will book again. Dilshad was amazing!
We had a great adventure, Ilyas was our guide and he was fantastic. It was fantastic how many activities we were able to fit into the trip, and such great value. We upgraded and did the ATV in the dunes, I was reluctant but my son really wanted to do it and I’m so pleased we did. We had a great time. The first stop did feel like a lot of salesman were trying to push things on you and I think an explanation before hand would help, but they were not pushy and the scarfs we bought not o my helped with the sand but felt authentic to the activities. There is a bit of driving on main roads but overall the experience id great. The camp was lovely, welcoming and we were really looked after. So many activities and we enjoyed them all. I would definitely recommend this tour, the only negative for me was that the car used was very hot and the air conditioning seemed to work sporadically. We shared a car with another family so there were 7 persons with the driver and we were sat in the very rear of the vehicle, it was very uncomfortable at times but despite this it really was a fantastic tour. Memories for a lifetime. x
We had a very good experience with Sajith. I recomend the driver and the experience. It was the highlight of our tour. Very well organised experience we will remember for ever.
Unforgettable memories with the family OCEAN AIR did a excellent service all my family enjoyed and have fun driver excellent a super friendly super recommend
Great experience, amazing tour! Highly recommended for family and friends, our kids enjoyed so much with a lot to do and see.
Fazil is excellent guide, exceptional service and hospitality! Would highly recommend. Definitely request him!
Fazil was great! Had a blast and the oasis was very nice
Great experience! The dune bashing and sand boarding were our favorite. Other highlights were the camel eiding and the buffet. Food. was fresh and very flavorful. We did come over the summer so it was very hot so dress accordingly and be prepared for the heat. We did a private tour. Our guide Rashid was the best. Very informative amd knowlegable about Dubai and the UAE. He was also very accomodating to our group and made tbe exoerience honestly twice as good. If you book please definitely ask for Rashid as your guide. Highly recommend both the tour and our guide.
It was superb! Gul was an excellent driver, guide and fun to be with! Friendly and warm..Everyone was superb friendly, food was delicious and they accomodated for my celiac daughter as well! The best day in Dubai!
Inaam was an incredible driver and guide. He explained everything in great detail with a positive attitude. Was very knowledgeable and patient. My family had an incredible impression of Dubai (our first time) thanks to his expertise. Thank you Inaam! 1000% recommend him
Wonderful experience with Rosh and the team at the dessert! It was absolutely magical and an unforgettable experience. Breathtaking views, wonderful food and a great host. Highly recommended must do whilst in Dubai.
We had a fantastic time, Sajith was our guide and he was brilliant, very entertaining and lots of knowledge, no question went unanswered, and a great driver, he made the dune bashing a highlight of our trip
Our guide encouraged us to experience the sand boarding, @ 72 yo never in my wildest dream, I’d be sand boarding at all. But it’s was an experience for me and my husband. The dune bashing was scary at first but it was an experience of a lifetime same with the camel ride. It’s worth to mention our Falcon guy Mohammad Qasam was very patient and helpful. It was a private tour of 3 couples but the 2/couples didn’t try the sand boarding. The dinner buffet was plentiful but we can only eat so much. The Arabian horse show was awesome, likewise the yoga dancer was so experienced at his craft. All the shows at the camp were very unique and entertaining. This tour is highly recommended when vacationing in DUBAI.
Just had the best day ever! The entire day trip was planned beautifully, but our guide Mr G, made it even better. He was absolutely helpful, caring and interactive, definitely made this trip a special memory for us.
An amazing experience from start to finish with the Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari by OceanAir Travels. The day was packed with activities including dune bashing in a 4WD, camel riding, sandboarding, and plenty of time exploring the spectacular red dunes. The evening camp was excellent, with a delicious BBQ buffet dinner, live entertainment, henna painting, stargazing, photo opportunities in traditional Sheikh attire, and plenty of other optional activities. A special mention to our guide, Rashid, who was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire day enjoyable. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience. Great value for money, well organised, and a fantastic way to experience the Dubai desert. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai.
It was amazing and our driver was super friendly and engaging. It was an incredible experience for our family.
We had an amazing desert safari experience thanks to Mr. Ghafoor Ghaleb. He was professional, friendly, patient, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. He went above and beyond to take countless photos for everyone in the group, making sure we had great memories to take home. He was very creative with poses and knew all the best spots for pictures. His driving during the dune bashing was exciting, safe, and skillful, and he made the sand sliding activities fun for everyone. Throughout the tour, he was attentive, organized, and always willing to help. His positive attitude and excellent customer service made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Mr. Ghafoor Ghaleb to anyone looking for a memorable desert safari experience. Thank you for making our day unforgettable!
The experience was amazing - so many activities and dinner and star gazing at the end! Our guide Imran was super informative and made the experience even better!
Oceanair team was super professional and accommodative. Their communication was excellent leading up to the experience and during the experience. All their staff was super friendly. Special mention about our driver Akbar who was very informative and ensured our comfort and safety at all times.
It was truly an amazing day, and everyone there was very helpful and took great care of us. We had a wonderful day filled with fun. The only comment I have is about the food — the portion size was very large, but I personally didn’t like it. Hassan, Omar, and the Arabic guys in the first tent who were responsible for renting the ATVs were very helpful and welcoming.
When you read what is offered with a nighttime booking it sounds wonderful. BUT that’s where it stops. I cannot recommend as the activities listed were not delivered. To start our day we were driven 45 mins to a meeting room where we were approached by salesmen selling perfume, head scarfs and jewellery. We then departed for sand boarding and after 2 runs each it was time to go only 4 in our group. We then proceeded to a 30 min activity of Dune Bashing where we waited 20 min for another car to join us which did not show. The dune bashing was fun and a stop for a photo happen. From there we were driven to our dining experience. During this time our driver offered no information. When we arrived at our final stop our driver advised us that he would wait in the car and when we were ready just come back to him. We expected an amazing time as our tour was at night it was to include dressing in authentic Arabian clothing, Falconry show, Fire show, Belly Dancing, Arabian Horse show and Camel show. Unfortunately none of this happened. When asked why we were told it’s not peak season. Definitely over price and not value for money.
I’ve traveled the world and this was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The tour was an unbelievable value for everything included. From seamless hotel pickup to the thrilling 4x4 vehicle ride (I upgraded on site) over the red dunes, camel rides, sandboarding, Arabic makeovers, incredible BBQ buffet, cultural shows, and stargazing under the desert sky, every part of the experience exceeded expectations. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the day even more special with insights about local culture. The tour company and hospitality were outstanding from start to finish. It was so good, I booked another tour with the same company just a couple of days later — and that says everything. If you’re considering this experience, don’t hesitate. Truly unforgettable.
