We had a wonderful time on this tour! It was so refreshing to be out and see the beauty of the desert, meet & ride some camels, and enjoy the coffee, tea, and breakfast. Saeed (our guide & driver) was very knowledgeable and told us all about the the different things we passed on our drive out to the desert and went out of the way to swing by the beautiful Flamingo Lake for us to get some pictures there too. We also greatly appreciated Aziz (our camel guide), he was a great photographer, we handed him our phone and he took tons of pictures of us interacting with the camels. It was a lot of fun! We saw several groups of gazelles on our way there too. The drive out to the desert was in a comfortable vehicle, there was plenty of water offered along the way and the food was delicious! It could have been nice to learn a little bit more about how people lived and sourced food & water in the desert back in the day, but it was a wonderful experience overall and I'd highly recommend it. We even asked how old our kids would need to be before we could bring them to ride the camels (4 years old was the answer!).

This is a wonderful trip or experience in the desert taking in camel rides over the dunes visiting the oasis and tasty Arabic lunch in the tent. This is highly recommended and thank you to Saeed for a lifetime of memories
Al Marmoom Oasis safari experience A great morning out in the desert! Our day started with a private transfer from our hotel to the conservation site in the desert just after 7am. Our driver, Ramish from OceanAir travels, chatted with us on the way about Dubai and what to expect at the experience. Once we arrived at the location, the activities were well organised and timely. The team were attentive and did a great job. We had a short camel ride, held a falcon, ate breakfast in a tent and tried traditional dress. Then we went for a drive in the desert nearby to the camp to enjoy the scenery and to see if there were any animals about. Riding on the camel was certainly a highlight of our whole trip to Dubai and it was obvious that Nieman, the camel was well looked after by his caretaker, Zaheer. Driving along in the jeep with Ramish was also great fun with him telling us about the area, answering questions and taking many photos for us. This is a perfect experience for people who want a taster of different activities in an area specifically designed for this. Thank you to Ramish, Zeheer and the rest of the team at Al Marmoom, we really enjoyed ourselves.
Saeed was friendly and knowledgeable tour guide for our half day tour. We thoroughly enjoyed our personalized experience with a falcon, camel ride, Arabic coffee, chai, traditional breakfast and abaya fitting.
Highly recommend this tour. Communication was easy and fast. Tour was amazing. Highly recommend our knowledgeble guide Saeed !
Our host and driver Tariq was amazing, very attentive and nice and overall just a charm of a person.
Our guide Arsi really made this trip spectacular. He was so attentive and always made sure we had everything that we needed but more importantly that we were having fun while being safe. At one point my battery was dying for my phone and he went out of his way to find me a charger to use. Over the top customer experience. I would highly recommend this excursion, it’s absolutely worth it. They offer so much for the price you pay. Arsi will also give you interesting insight about Dubai while driving to the excursion. Awesome time!
Our driver Arsi made this experience even better. He was awesome!! We had a great time in the buggy around the sand dunes, camel rides were fun and the food and show was like NOTHING I’ve ever experienced
Our visit to Al Marmoom was a great experience. Everything was well organised right from pickup till the drop. Our tour coordinator Salman was very friendly and nice person, he took care of us throughout the trip.
Arsi was a great guide and he showed us a great experience. From the desert safari to the bbq and then the laughs on the way home finished off a great day.
Dear Ozzy, dear Baksh, Thank you for the wonderful trip with your lovely camels 🐫. The personal ride, your explanations of the deserts and it's animals, the surrounding, the support in shooting pictures, the tea and dates back in the camp were excellent. Afterwards having our traditional breakfast in an Michelin star traditional restaurant was an fantastic experience and the taste of the meals were unbelievable good. Your personal engagement and willingness to make all our wishes come true make the difference. We will come back and I would have rated you 6 stars if possible. All the best from Kristina and Jan from Hamburg, Germany.
We have packed a lot into our Dubai trip but this was by far the best trip we’ve done. We were so well looked after by Arsi we couldn’t have asked for more. The Quad biking was great fun and the camp was just beautiful - loads to do, great food and we were just so well looked after. A magical experience and a fantastic guide for the day - Thanks again
We had a fantastic time on this tour getting to know the heritage and history of Dubai on safari. Our falcon/camel handler Anwar Ali did an excellent job teaching us about his animals while also explaining the habitats at the Al Marmoom desert reserve and taking amazing photos our safari trek along the sand dunes. Our oasis barista Waleed brewed some outstanding coffee and tea, plus the subsequent traditional breakfast at Al Khayma heritage restaurant was absolutely delicious. Last but not least, our tour guide Ramish took awesome care of us throughout, providing great conversation and music all along our journey.
The tour was organised extremely well, great experiences, the camp was magic, great food and entertainment. Majid accompanied us and he is the best! Thank you so much
This was an awesome experience and everyone on the team made it perfect - From on-time pick up to taking lots of pictures to make this trip memorable Thank you
Excelent experiance. Great guide Majid Baloch. Any time again. Thank you for this wonderful morning.
We have just returned from Dubai and one of the highlights was our desert trip. Such a fun outing. We were picked up on time by our lovely guide/driver Muhammed ( khalil) who kept in touch beforehand regarding times etc. A very comfortable journey to the desert and Muhammed gave us loads of information on landmarks we passed. Our time in the desert was unreal. Saw bedouin way of life, held the falcons. had beautiful breakfast, then had a ride on the camels. this was followed by a trip in the desert to see the conservation area. animals etc. So enjoyed it all. We are retired friends and were hesitant about this trip. Have to say it was the highlight of our holiday. Thanks to Muhammed who was the best guide ever, full of information and crack and happy to accommodate us. We would definitely recommend this trip and our guide Muhammad who made it all so special and smooth running.
Muhammad Khalil was our guide. He was super informative during our morning safari guide. Most importantly he was very accommodating to our needs during the tour.10/10 recommend!
we had a wonderful time thanks to qadir for the organization at the top! I recommend this extraordinary experience in Dubai !
It was a wonderful day in the dunes and beyond all expectations! Our guide Muhammad Khalil was so friendly and helpful. The whole day was very smooth. We we‘re picked up on time and all the other guest we‘re from the same hotel so we went directly to the desert! The day went well and the camelride was fun! The food was absolutely gorgeous and even if there were about 90-100 people you did not recognize them and don’t have to wait at the buffet! It was pretty well organized! I would absolutely recommend OceanAir! Thanks for having us!
This was an amazing experience. We had a very comfortable ride out to the oasis camp, and then it was one fabulous event after another. The camel ride, the falcon, the wonderful breakfast, and finally the exhilarating Desert Drive through the sand dunes. It was all made possible by the fun, informative and engaging guide, Mohammed Khalil, who kept us safe and well entertained for the whole time. If you want an incredible morning in the desert, look nowhere else!
It was a great morning in the desert as described. During the Drive we saw very different areas and our guide Muhammad Khalil gave us a lot of information about the nature and answered all our questions. It was also quite fun!
It was an amazing experience and tour to the desert. Great people, food and show. Our tour guide Muhammad Khalil was very friendly and helpful during the trip. He gave us a lot information about Dubai and good recommendations for next trips.
It’s highly recommended to do it if you just want to ride the camel in a chill chill way. The guide Usman is super nice and friendly. The shuttle car is new, safe and comfortable. Breakfast in a heritage village with Bedouin people was quite special experience. Riding a camel for 45 mins just nice, not too short and not too long. It’s really nice experience and I will definitely do it again if I had chances.
We had an amazing trip with our guide Inaam! We rode in a vintage G-Wagon on the dunes, rode camels, saw wildlife, and then had a delicious Bedouin breakfast. Our family of four had a blast and our guide Inaam was so knowledgeable about the desert, Dubai, the Emirates and it’s history…so we got more out of the trip than expected!
We fully enjoy our trip with INNAM very friendly and explain us something about Dubai culture and environment. We strongly recommend this safari to Marmoom Oasis
Inam was our guide and he was amazing with all my demands … LOL 😂 he made my day special and worth any penny spend . he is very well educated and talks about all kind of subjects incluiding economy and politics and culture which I loved 🥰. It’s always nice to learn about other cultures and besides having a good adventure we earned a lot . if you’re in to a more cultural tour this is the one ! It explains clearly how they used to live and everything about their ancestors . Great tour great guide . Thank you iman
Thank you Inaam for the best morning in the desert! We loved every minute of it and couldn’t have been more looked after 😊
Inaam made this an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expetations. He is very knowledgeable and a great photographer! This is a must-do activity in Dubai. I highly recommend it.
It was an amazing experience!! Abdul is the perfect guide and he took care of us and did his best for us.
This was an outstanding tour. Inaam the guide was great. He was on time, very knowledgeable, and a very safe driver. The activities were great, and the breakfast was outstanding. A really worthwhile safari, and highly recommended for families with kids. The morning tour is a good option as its cooler and its not crowded. All in all a very memorable Dubai experience. Thank you Inaam.
The camelride impressed me The food was delicious The trip in the desert was amazing. The guide was lovely It was a perfect Morning.
We are a family of four with two girls (11 and 9). Our experience with our guide Imran Khan was just perfect. Our guide got in touch with us the day before to arrange pickup at our place and the next day he was right on time ! We had a great time during the camel ride in the dunes. We were able to observe wild animals like oryxes, mountain gazelles and some pretty large lizards !!! Great show for the kids. The other half of the experience is spent enjoying a coffee while a musician plays some local tunes. Finally, the breakfast, composed of many local dishes, was delicious, fresh, but impossible to finish due to the insane quantity of food ! Overall, a lovely experience due for a great part to the kindness of our guide Imran. I recommend 100 %. Julien.
It was a very nice experience. The food was good and I am thankful that we met so lovely people. . <3
Very nice experience, the staff is very caring and will put your well being in the centre of their attention. We would like to thank our guide Inaam who made this experience memorable and lifted this to a higher level . If it was available we would surely rate this more than 5 stars.
This was a great experience. It is very much an excursion for tourists. It was a relaxed experience and my guide Inaam really did look after us. We paid for the experience with the private car just for our party and if you are able it is well worth it. The food was amazing and lots of it and the entertainment was fabulous.
The tour was Very beautiful! I can recommend this tour especially I recommend our tour guide Inaam who was really nice and showed us everything around the bedouin camp.
We went for the evening safari. Inaam was our guide-cum-driver and the experience was excellent. Pick up was on time and we drove to Al Marmoom camp about 40 minutes from the city. It started with feeding camels followed by a camel ride. Then we went deeper into the desert for a safari in a vintage Mercedes where we spotted some animals and watched the sunset. Inaam took great pictures during each activity. This was followed by some tea and a lavish 3-course dinner including soft drinks. Everything was unlimited. There were options for trying out Arabic dresses, henna painting and photoshoot with a falcon. There was entertainment show including a traditional dance and fire show. Both were great. We watched while smoking sheesha/hookah. Finally we got a chance to see the moon up close through a telescope. Every activity I mentioned was included in the price and nothing extra had to be paid. In the end, while driving back, Inaam was kind enough to give a short city tour. Overall, great value for money and a must-have experience. Inaam was courteous and engaged us throughout the trip. Definitely look forward to coming back to Dubai and do more tours with Ocean Air Travels and specifically Inaam.
Inam, our guide, was very very professional, kind and friendly. Consequently our experience in the desert was amazing! The hospitality was grate, we enjoyed the tea, the Arabic coffee and the large Bedouin breakfast. The camel guide was superb and the camel ride was breathtaking!! We highly recommend.
It was an amazing trip. Our guide Inaam was very kind and helpful and a very safety driver. He explain already on the way about buildings and activity places. The camel riding and after the bedouin breakfast was really good. And our guide made nice pictures from us.Thanks a lot!
Imran is an excellent guide. We had a fantastic day - he was knowledgeable and kind and we felt very safe in his company. 10/10 recommend you go and go with Imran!!
This was one of the best activities in Dubai. The pick up was on time as promised and the ride was very comfortable. Our driver and guide Imran Khan was great. He was very friendly and professional. His driving through the dunes was a thrilling experience but safe at the same time. We had a great time. The camel ride was also very nice and the breakfast was unexpectedly delicious. Imran made sure we were at all times comfortable and having a good time. We highly recommend this tour. If you get Imran, you will not be disappointed
We had a great experience .. being in the dessert was lovely! The whole tour was interesting and fun!! Abdul our tourguide was very professional! We were picked up at the hotel, the ride was smooth to the dessert, loved the old Mercedes open car we drove in the dessert (better then in a airconditioned car, much more fun), the Camal ride was about 30 min .. but too long for me ;-). Breakfast was very nice, so much lovely food. We thought the 5 hour was just enough, perfect trip!! Thanks Abdul ..
Hello, We had a very good desert tour. Our tour guide Aku was very attentive and friendly. He kindly waited for us this morning whilst we were running late, assisted in taking pictures and was all round a very good tour guide.
Our guide Imran was kind and witty in his own peculiar way. I really enjoyed the 4WD, camel ride and beautiful voice of the local Oud player and singer. Breakfast was excellent and generous. I just wish I had the stomach to finish it all! The heat and humidity was intense, though. If my flight hadn't departed the same evening, I would have done it in late afternoon and evening.
Our guide, Imran, was very welcoming and very talented to immerse ourself into the Al Marmoom desert. The camel ride and the safari on the sand dunes were terrific! We also enjoyed a traditional Bedouin breakfast within a traditional tent and made some pictures with a falcon. This family experience was a great moment and is definitely to be recommended for people seeking a more authentic time around Dubai.
We did the morning safari with the optional ATV, dune bashing, camel ride and dinner. Everything went really smoothly with our tour guide and the entire staff ensured that everything was seamless and we got the entire experience
Not touristic at all. Even tho it was on a Saturday. We were in the camp with five guests. Very quiet and idyllic. When you get there and know other safaris in Dubai, you see that this camp is not made for mass tourism. Breakfast was delicious and the drinks were brand products. The Tour-guide Imran took his time to talk to us a lot. And told much about the desert and all the animals there we also saw in the reservoir when we drove thru it with an old G class. The reservoir itself is also more quiet with little oases and there is not as much rubbish as in other deserts in Dubai. The camel ride was really good. We were sitting with max. two persons on one camel, the seat was comfy and the animals looked good from my point of view. We went for about 45 minutes and rode around two oases. All in all it is not the cheapest safari but for us it was worth it.
It was an amazing day, great food, great activity, great TOUR GUY! He was present all the time and tried his best for us so that we can have the best time, we realy appreciate everything he did! it was was the best day, definitely coming back!
Excellent service and a delightfull attitude of the driver and the property personell as well as a very professional conduct. A team that puts passion and love towards both the animals and the experience as a whole.
