Amazing Oasis Safari in a lovely vintage car. We were very lucky to spot gazelles, flamingos and other birds and small mammals. Our guide Nomi was great, very knowledgeable and friendly and a very good photographer! Good food and show too. Highly recommended desert safari.
My daughter and I had a great day out in the desert. Sufyan, our guide was kind, caring and accommodating. The activities were fun and the food was great.
This was a fantastic excursion from start to finish. Everything about it was top notch and well coordinated. Absolutely would recommend this to anyone coming to Dubai!
This a 5 star+ excursion and so worth it. Second time I’ve done this in Dubai now with my son and we love every minute. The driver and guide was superb. The camel ride, safari, sunset, food, entertainment etc was all to the highest standard. If you want a beautiful experience I can certainly recommend this!
Fabulous trip. Highly recommended even if initial communication poor. First recommendation - book direct with OceanAir. They are the operators at Al Marmoom so you are booking direct. At our hotel (One&Only Royal Mirage) there was an office selling the same trip at double the price and people were paying that. Still not cheap at £775 for the two of us but we went exclusive at the same price others were paying to share. Second recommendation - go for the exclusive option so it is just you and your partner in the vehicle. That made it such a personal, special experience. We went at our pace, saw all we wanted and more and were treated like royalty throughout. Won't spoil the tour by going into detail but it involved camel riding, trips over sand dunes at sensible speeds, a Arabic meal in a private "tent" and evening entertainment. We went back to our hotel very happy. Only negative was the poor communication when we booked on line - no confirmation of any sort without chasing which made us feel we had been defrauded. But all was well and from the moment we were contacted by our actual guide to give us his pick up time (and he arrived early), all went very well indeed. Big shout out to our guide, Imran Khan, who looked after us at all times and went over and above what we could have expected. That made our tour very special. Many thanks Imran.
Worst experience we’ve ever had. We sat for an hour at the designated pickup point with a NO SHOW from the company. We messaged the tour company relentlessly once we realized that no one had approached us, but did not receive a response. We have filed for a refund, but are not even sure if the tour company will acknowledge their error.
The tour guide and all staff are professional and nice. Abundant experience with so many interesting and thrilling activities. Best trip of our whole journey in Dubai.
My best experience has been the safari. run on the camels, see the sunset and eat the typical food in the store, the best of my life
It was a marvellous experience. We really enjoyed seeing the birds and various animals. The drive through the sand dunes was great with many spectacular views of the desert. Our guide was very helpful and very knowledgeable about everything. He did a fantastic job looking after us. The meal and village experience at the end of the tour added a special touch to what was a great outing - something that we cherish and always remember
Decent activities and organization. Would be better have longer camel ride. Staff took nice pictures for us at sunset. Experience quite expensive for what we got but still good overall.
We had a very beautiful day in the desert. Everything was organized very well. The food was delicious. Our guide Lucky was very attentive and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Thank you very much
Imran was/is amazing - took all the time in the world to explain things and drove us through the desert. Had a fantastic time. My only complaint is that there was too much food (which was fabulous BTW, pretty sure you did not get food poisoning here for that one comment).
This tour was a trip highlight - on a trip filled with highlights. Our excellent guide - Imran Khan - was professional, attentive and lots of fun. He promised us the best time and he delivered. From the camel rides, to holding a real falcon, to the deluxe dune buggy ride through desert, the henna tattoos, a delicious and huge meal served in a private tent with our own waiter. This experience was top notch. We bought all the pictures and beautiful jewelry with our names in Arabic. He was patient- as we were the last ones to leave - we never felt rushed. Definitely book this tour. Ask for Imran.
Great Guide Imran Khan picked us up at hotel and went out into the desert and location for the meal and entertainment venue. Located here 24.83070° N, 55.34173° E A fun evening of exploring desert wildlife, four wheeling in the sand, traditional dinner followed by entertainment. Super hot and humid.
People were nice but it was an extremely tourist-trappy feeling -- strong Potemkin village vibe. Everyone in my party got food poisoning and was stuck on the toilet for the rest of the trip (except for me because I didn't eat). Was hoping to do stargazing, but we never did that. The only part I liked was when we left to sit in the desert and watch the sun set, very clean and natural feeling after the overwhelming metropolis of Dubai.
Fantastic time spent exploring the desert and experiencing some of the traditional aspects with delicious food and drink.
Our guide was great, super interactive and took time to make sure everyone in the group he was “in charge of” was taken care of- between pictures, food, drinks, activists etc. Thanks, Imran Kahn!
This desert tour was an absolutely amazing experience, enhanced by Imran our guide who was great from beginning to end. Everything was perfect and the Mercedes jeep was fantastic. I did a lot of research on these tours and I made the right decision choosing this one. It’s a must do in Dubai
Had a wonderful adventure. Entertainment & music. Imran Khan our driver was a legend. I’d recommend this tour to everyone.
We had a fantastic time on the Al Marmoom evening tour - every aspect of the tour was well organised starting from the pick up all the way to the return back to our hotel. Our guide Yasir was very engaging and enthusiastic and kept our energy levels high! The food was delicious and the staff and performers at the camp were professional and kind too!
Great trip! Thanks to our Guide Yasir and the whole supporting team. The best outback tour in Dubai. Very authentic and VIP experience. No mass tourism on that tour. 5 stars.
Had such an amazing time ! The food was delicious, place was extremely beautiful and peaceful, and great hospitality. Recommending this exact tour for everyone. Will absolutely come back again. ~ Julia
Everything was great. Our guide Yasir was very nice and he provided us a lot of information about Dubai and everything else. I recommend this tour to everyone especially the tour with Yasir as a guide. The dunes bashing was not so brutal as we expected and it was great. Also, we received a lot of good food.
We had a lovely time - very good driver Yasir who was really helpful and kind and nice activities and food.would recommend.
We were going on the trip with Roshin and everything went smooth. Roshin is very attentive and caring guide. It was worth every penny. The full day tour was amazing and a dinner at the end was fantastic as well. Much recommended when in Dubai.
A wonderful authentic Emirati experience. Knocked out so much of my “must dos” in one day; dune bashing, sand boarding, camel riding and several authentic shows (fire, dancing and traditional Arabian dancing). The food was wonderful! So many options to choose from and the small group we were in made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Our driver and host, Roshin, was the BEST! He was so knowledgeable, friendly and very accommodating. Our group was rather quiet and he went above and beyond to make sure we were having fun (we were having a blast!). I wish more tour guides were like Roshin, you can tell he truly enjoys his job!
Had a great time going into the desert today. Got picked up on time at the hotel and the host (Roshin) explained what we were going to do. During the drive he told us some interesting facts and info about some places we were passing by. We stopped by a ATV, Buggy place and got the opportunity to go out on one. We then moved on to do the dune bashing in the Toyota 4X4 which was a lot of fun! Stopped on top of some dunes to take pictures and go sandboarding. Moved on to the camp. We went out on a camel and after that watched some traditional dances while doing shisha. Closed out the day with some delicious food. The host dropped us off back at the hotel. Thank you Roshin! You made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience at all times.
The tour was great and exceeded our expectations! Everything was perfect and every activity (pick-up, transfer, camel ride, tea, coffee, henna, freshly made desserts, live music and dance and various shows) organized flawlessly. Above all all this was possible thanks to Roshin, our guide, who started taking care of us before even meeting us with answers and directions via whatsapp and at every moment from the pick up at the hotel, all the while giving explanations on everything, responding with pleasure to every question and curiosity we asked him until the final greeting when he dropped us off at the hotel. Highly recommended for a few hours getaway from Dubai
Absolutely fantastic trip from start to finish! Roshin our tour guide was brilliant, looking after us from the moment he picked us up from the hotel to drop off The journey starts with the dune safari which was exhilarating, scary, exciting, unexpected but fabulous and I would highly recommend it. Roshin always checked everyone was okay during the drive Then the camel ride which I have never done before but thoroughly enjoyed, just so many new experiences!! Then a falcon display, a show which was brilliant too, then the food in the Bedouin tents, wow, what a food extravaganza, Roshin took us to our own tent which I’m so happy we chose the private tour, it’s so special! Roshin is so attentive and if you are lucky to get him as your tour guide you’ll have a day you’ll never forget!! Enjoy!!!
Excellent tour and an even better tour guide. Abdul Bashir is an absolute gem. Very knowledgeable on all Emirati history and patient enough to answer my billion questions during the whole tour. Highly recommended.
The experience was beyond what we expected and our guide Abdul was amazing. He was really helpful to get the best experience- courteous and pleasant to talk with and someone who constantly tried to enhance our experience. He ensured we get great dune and camp experience. The camp was great, we went as a family and really liked the shows, which were at ease pace and staggered over 3 hours. The shows were great and the food was nice too- as a vegetarian we were skeptical, but to our surprise the food was amazing. I had a great experience with ocean travels too- we had to change our trip just a few hours before and they happily accommodated to another day and trip suiting to our needs. They also called us to ensure we had the best experience.
Abdul was soo helpful, Marmoom (spelling?) Bedouin camp was fantastic, soo many experiences for my family and I… jeep sand dune ride, animals, camel ride, wonderful food, (even vegetarian option) dancing and acrobatic demonstrations of traditional entertainment. Falcon demonstration. I could not recommend this trip enough, I will definitely be back, and next time we hope to stay over night. Thank you for a friendly and memorable experience X
Our experience was great! we were picked up on time from the hotel, our guide Abdul was wonderful. He told us many interesting things during the safari and answered all our questions. managed to bring us to the world of the desert. We felt very good in the Bedouin village, everyone welcomed us very warmly and hospitably and the food was very tasty. I recommend!!!
This was just an outstanding outing. We were met at the hotel and driven to an area couth of Dubai for the Bedouin experience. The drive through the sand dunes was breathtaking. We stopped on top of the highest sand dune and took pictures of the evening sunset. Back to the tents, we had an excellent three course meal. The salad was one of the best that I have eaten. During the second course, we had live entertainment from a dancer and an instrument player. The entire experience lasted almost 6 hours and was worth every penny for the cost. I would highly recommend this evening experience. One word of caution. The rides through the sand dunes can be a little hard on the body as you are tossed around quite a bit. The brochure states that age limit is 65, but I am 83 and enjoyed every minute of it.
Amazing very authentic experience. Exciting open roof dunes ride (none extreme version) with sunset session and peaceful evening like Bedouins did - with traditional coffee, dinner and dancer. Thank you for our guide and driver Zahid and henna lady Hena to make it so pleasant
Overall great experience Abdul was great and I enjoyed the keep and camel ride. Mostly it was great being in a Bedouin tent under the stars eating delicious food.
We had the best driver/tour guide who pick us up on time and who make us laugh the whole trip such a nice person Mr. Nouman I enjoyed the sand dunes,atv and sand boarding a lot 😀 the best experience in dubai 😀
The service was very good. The pick up at the hotel was convenient. The food was good. Although the dune bashing was a little scary the driver made us feel safe . All the service staff were excellent photographers!
We had a great time!!! Extremely recommended experience. The dessert and the sand were amazing. So beautiful. The 4x4 trip was extreme, fun and unique experience. The driver was so professional, kind and caring. The food and the show at the camp were fun and different. Really production and absolutely worth the money. You won’t forget it! I truly recommend this adventure! Thank you so much for a wonderful time
We are french, we have spent a perfect day. The guide Ashgar Ali was amazing and awesome. Very good safari in the desert. I recommanded
My wife and I got lucky with our driver Ashgar Ali. Not only was he on time, but made the Journey unforgettable. It was our first time doing desert safari, the trip was as expected and more. Ali was checking on us all the time, even when we got to the camp. He was always making sure we have what we wanted from organizing our ATV adventure, zigzagging in the red dunes, sand boarding, camel riding to setting our table, helping with the shisha, deserts and more. The trip was well organized. This was the best part of Dubai. Thanks Mr. Ali for this amazing experience.
The experience was amazing, our driver asghar Ali was on time and he was so dedicated and passionate about what he was doing, he was so patient and was with us all the time, asking if we need water and if we needed, there is a lot of companies that do the same activities but what make a change is the hospitality and the people that served you, I will always recommend it to my friends because we really felt like kings with him
Amazing experience with comfortable jeeps and the nicest tour guide and driver, combination of exciting dunes and authentic Bedouin camp and hospitality.
Great desert safari with a lot of activities guided by Asghar Ali who was a very good guide. Pick up at hotel, quad drive, dune boarding barbecue and much more.
Great day with the best tour guide (Asghar Ali). Enjoyed my day away from the city to enjoy the desert safari & evening barbecue with live performances. Definitely to recommend!
Thank you for everything Ali. You offered an extraordinary Service and made our Day in the Desert just wonderful. Very customer oriented Service and very family friendly ride with the car. All the best. Keep doing great things. Your customers loves you 😎✌🏼
I was on the fence about doing safari as I am not an adrenaline junkie so left it as a placeholder for my closing day in Dubai. Boy was I wrong to have doubted the need for doing something they turned out to be the most classic Dubai memory!! First of all, I would like to thank you Selena for being very patient with making arrangements and assigning me to their most patient Captain Ashgar Ali. He was prompt to pick me up and was so amiable and authentic that within a few minutes of ride and his genuinely sweet banter he brought me and another family who joined the tour together. I didn’t think it was necessary but I was floored by his insight and concern for solo travel when we got to the camp dinner and he made sure I was comfortable seated with my new German friends. I would have been miserable sitting alone so Ashgar’s hospitality was out of this world heartwarming. He was very tactful about my preferences and made sure I knew what sand buggies were about. He was very polite when I said I was not sure about heat and buggies so he quickly ushered me away from camel’s ass (the only shade I could find) and into air conditioned room plying me with cold water and sweets. It was hot for me but this guy managed to occupy kids with buggies and keep an eye on me at the same time. He was the most gracious host!! During the ride he told about geography and history of Emirates. He has a lot of information about cars, trends, shopping, museums, sightseeing and lots of positive energy. His positivity was very genuine and I don’t think I would have enjoyed the trip if it hadn’t been for his personal touches. The camp site was just breathtaking. Yes entertainment and food were top notch but there is something about the atmosphere that this agency created. It is very genuine and not pretentious. Everybody felt relaxed under the stars and there was no pressure no hassle. Everyone was emanating kindness. The performances were absolutely amazing and the ladies at henna station were so sweet and gorgeous. I had the most relaxing and fulfilling time that day. Saying good bye was very difficult as I was parting with the gracious host Ashgar Ali, with my new German family and their best behaved kids and Dubai. I hope to be back and the tour is a must for those looking for authentic taste of Middle East. Thank you guys!! Also, Ashgar was very kind to take lots of pictures for me!!
We had a fantastic experience on our desert trip in large part due to our wonderful guide Asghar Ali. He was friendly, accommodating & genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great time. He took care of everything for us. I really loved that he let us take time for lots of photos & even took some great ones with his phone & sent to us. We loved the quad biking, it was fun to take a short camel ride & the food at the BBQ was really good. Our family really enjoyed the day & I would recommend. Thank you Ali for helping us make such great memories!
Our guide was Asghar Ali. He was great! He helped us with with everything and gave us an amazing experience. The whole trip was smooth! Great driver and very clean car.
It was a Great Day with our Safari Guide Asghar Ali. One of our Kids getting sick and he stoped the car immediately and drives slowly to the next stop. He makes beautiful Family pictures and Ali was so attentive particularly to our children. We had always enough to Drink. He made sandboarding with the Kids. Ist was a great Day for us and a Great experience in Dubai. Thank you for this Day Ali.
