Great experience, truly friendly personnel, and especially for the children camping in the dessert was superb. We really enjoyed sun rise from the back of the camels and breakfast served in a fairy tale-like environment.

This tour with Oscar Knight Tours. Some things to note: 1) Even though the tour indicated pickup at 2PM, the driver actually contacted us for an earlier pickup at 1:30PM. We were able to accommodate this because we didn't have other touring plans that day. 2) Even though this is an overnight trip, luggage is not allowed. That can be problematic for some travelers who would need to find somewhere else to store their luggage. 3) Quad bike riding in the desert is not included -- and the place we were taken to for this is very expensive -- this can be a several hundred addition to the booked tour if you want to experience this. The tour overall was a great experience. Our driver/guide Qurban was outstanding. Riding with him in the desert was a thrilling and fun experience. Sand sledding was fun. We got amazing pictures at sunset and sunrise. Dinner and show were excellent. Overnight accommodations were comfortable. Note -- shower is available and can be useful when one is full of sand. Unfortunately, due to light pollution there really isn't a great view of the night sky. I would definitely do this tour again.
I had a wonderful time at this camp after being canceled on last minute by another vendor. Oscar Knight Tours took great care of me and treated me like a queen on my solo visit to their camp. Every one of the staff were kind and courteous. I spent a peaceful night in a rustic cabin after being treated to dinner and a show. Highlights for me were ATV riding (optional- do it!) over the dunes and a sunrise camel trek. Check out the great photo my trek guide captured- it sums up my whole experience.
The camel trek is guided but if you are older or have medical conditions perhaps not for you The coffee and sweets in the desert were so amazing, uniquely incredible. The dinner and show were good. The food amount is simply more than you can eat. The overnight in the air conditioned tent was surprisingly good. I slept well. It’s very quiet. The highlight was the staff. They were genuinely friendly. I had my mom with me and they acted as if she were their mom. It was her birthday and they made it incredibly special. I can’t give them a high enough rating for the incredible service.
Very good views, exciting safari and unique experience. Tour guide was very nice to us, and provided good services. Valued for money.
Everyone—driver, camel guide, the people at the camp—took good care of us and were very friendly. Great customer orientation: we were able to book a quad tour for father & son on short notice. Oscar Knight has an own camp (unlike many of the smaller operators) and they are one of the few who offer over night stays in the desert.
This was incredible we were treated like royalty . Nothing was to much and our guide Ashraf was amazing answering all of our strange questions. I highly highly recommend this tour you would be missing out on an awesome experience if you don’t go! Thank you so much - Candice and Tina from NZ
Nice combination of activities. The calm atmosphere at sunrise is perfect. Riding the camels was great! Helpful guides
We had a fantastic time, our guide, Shabir was personable, humorous and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed the dune bashing! Well worth the time and money.
The best stay overnite / desert safari experience in Dubai. Very friendly professional kind and careing hosts and tour guides. Good entertainment, good food and good quality shisa. We have to come back next year
We were picked up by the best ever guide and driver Ashraf without any issues, then we went to ride quads in the desert (highly recommended to go outside, not only in the closest area!), after we had a crazy ride in the desert (but everything was safe), then a camel ride and perfectly in time we managed to arrive to the place for the sunset view. Afterwards it was also great! Shows, dinner, night in the very cosy rooms and Arabic breakfast. And you'd better wake up for the sunrise! It was the best experience in our travel lives, thanks a lot!
Wonderful time! Great evening with food and entertainment. Stayed over night in comfortable room. Sunrise was beautiful.
The tour was perfect from the get-go to the very end. Pick up from downtown was confirmed a few hours in advance and was very punctual The fun began as we entered the desert area where a wide range of activities are available, from quad biking in the sand (at extra cost) , dune bashing and sandboarding followed by a short camel ride. At night I had a tradition Arabian buffet dinner during which a few entertaining and spectacular shows were performed. Shisha is also available for free upon request. The room/tent was a complete surprise, not only there was air conditioner, other amenities and electronic appliances are also available including soft drinks and coffee, a fridge,and a boiling bottle. Electricity is also provided so there is no need to worry about dying battery of the phone. There are also washrooms in the campsite where you can take a shower for the night. The next morning concluded with another camel ride to watch the sunrise and a buffet breakfast in the campsite. Special credits to Mohammed, the driver/tour guide who is a very nice and caring person. All other staff are also very friendly, they all provided professional hospitality with kind hearts and are more than happy to help take tons of beautiful pictures. All of them made this amazing tour an even more enjoyable experience.
Had a fantastic time - Shabir and all the other people at the camp were great and so attentive. Twice a long camel ride inkl. Pictures.
This trip was so worth it from start to end. Qurban was so friendly, knowledgeable, took some amazing pics of and made sure that we comfortable at all times. The service at the dinner and with our overnight stay, by Lipton, (I think his name is) was so amazing. He made us feel so special at all times ensuring all our needs were met and that we were comfortable. We were the only family that stayed overnight yet felt so safe. Breakfast was tasty and satisfying and the camel ride for sunrise was quite the experience, the highlight of my trip. I loved the people who made this experience memorable, Qurban and his team were so humble and treated us with such respect and appreciation at all times..
very nice experience with all the listed activities to do in the desert. All was good and very well organised. There is time to enjoy all the activities and staff is always ready to assist and make your journey as much comfortable as possible. Accommodation for overnight is in a fully equipped tent in the camp. Our guide, Ashraf, stayed with us all the time, from hotel pickup until he drove us back home: he is a super nice pal always keen to assist and he also gave us plenty of tips and info on the activities to do. Highly recommended.
We had a very nice dunebashing, a beautyful fotoshoot, nice falkoning: and most of all the best tourleader Ashraf! Very cooperative and helpfull. The tour was custom made because i did not want to ride on a camel. (Afraid of animalabuse, no signs of that but principle). All the staff was amazing and friendly. Only comment; because of wheeltraces snd electricitytowers the photo’s are not postermaterial.
Ashraf is the man to go on the desert safari with. A true man that knows the desert so well that he takes you away from the crowded dunes the other tours do, and brings you to even better scenery. Look no further, he is your guy!
The safari, dune bashing and sunrise were amazing. Ask for Ashraf as your tour guide. He will genuinely take care of you. He is funny, knowledgeable and charming. Thank you for an awesome experience.
This was one of the experiences I’ve ever done, the staff was great especially Ashraf. He picked us up on time and was very quick with his responses. If you visit Dubai this trip is a MUST DO.
We spent an amazing time with Oscar Knight Tours. Our guide Ashraf was such a nice person and did everything he could to make us feel at home. The camel ride und camel guide were wonderful and they really paid attention to the camels' wellbeing, too. They had several camel babies who were really cute. Afterwards we had a private sunset snack in the dunes. During dinner we watched two traditional shows that were amazing. We spent the night in one of their comfortable tents and were allowed to go for another camel ride during sunrise. Definitely a seven out of five!
We really enjoyed the program. It was a good decision that we chose the one-night program, because this way we saw both the sunset and the sunrise. The appetizer for two at sunset, the delicious dinner, henna painting, the show, breakfast and shisha was a great experience. The accommodation is modest, but clean and safe. Everyone was very nice, they served all our needs. I would like to give a special mention to our driver, Ashraf, who was flexible and kind, His presence wasn't too much and was always there when needed. The camelride was a great experience. What is negative is that the desert is unfortunately no longer untouched, there are power lines, lights everywhere and it is full of plastic garbage. Regardless, I enjoyed every moment and would love to go back and choose Oscar Knight tours again.
The guide Yaqoob is very informative, responsible, helpful, and friendly. Always there to make sure everything is good and for us to have a good time. Good service at dinner and overnight camp as well, Mofi and the staffs are very attentive. Overall a great experience!
First we we’re picked up by our guide, ASHRAF. He was the best guide we could wish for! We arrived at our first stop; the quads. This was an amazing activity and well organised. Afterwards, Ashraf took us dunebashing. It was wild and he prepared us well in advance. We loved it! He made stops everywhere we want too so we could make some nice pictures. He even helped us make the pictures and showed us the best spots to do so! After the dunebashing, we did some sandboarding. Ashraf then brought us to the camels that we’re prepared for us. It was a short and beautiful ride, truly perfect! We made some pretty pictures here too. After the camelriding, we received some Arabian coffee, dades and other delicious sweets. We then drove to the resort. This resort was amazing, the food, the shows, the people… incredible!! We even stayed the night there and were incredibly well taken care of! The next morning, we woke up at 6 am to do some camelriding again and make some pictures while the sun showed up. Afterwards, we got an amazing breakfast and we’re (again) treated like royals here. I can’t say enough how much this tour was worth it. It was such a unique combination of all sorts of experiences. Meeting a new culture, incredible kind people, do the coolest activities, eat amazing food, see some beautiful eveningshows etc… was one of the coolest things we ever did! In one word: A MUST DO! Thanks again Ashraf for taking care of us so well and making these experiences extra special for us!!
A very special experience, this desert safari was wonderful I really enjoyed every moment as did my family. It was the first time using this company and I found every interaction was handled in a professional manner. The experience was unforgettable.
This was the most beautiful experience of my life. Our guide Ali met at at the hotel and brought us to the desert. Ali is from Dubai and told us a lot about city. We enjoyed camel ride and then watched the sunset. Then we were back to the camp where dinner was served. There was also a show. The camp has toilet and shower facilities and the room we stayed had a/c. At 5 am, we got up to see the sunrise. We were on our honeymoon and this was romantic and soul touching.
What a day! I did this desert safari tour for a birthday of my girlfriend. Qurban (the guide) come to bring us to de desert he was so professional and friendly, i took care us during all the day. We did a beautiful camel ride in the desert with an other kindly guide and he made also beautiful photo for us. Than Qurban preperd arabian coffe, arabic donuts and snak for waiting the sunset we spend a special moment with funny photo that Qurban made for us. After he bring us to the camp! It was a beautiful place with all the tipycal arabic things, all the staff that work there was so nice and professional. There Mufy show us the room for the night and he made a BBQ for us, he was really nice and took care about everything during the dinner. The room was so beautiful in the tipycal arabic style. During the dinner we saw beautifull show with belly dance, Falcon show, tandura dance and fire show we enjoy so much! After that we go to smoke a bit o shisha e see the star in the quiet and peace of the desert, was so relaxing. We sleep there, and the morning after we wake up at 6 e 30 for see the sun coming up with a nice camel ride of course! Than we come back to the camp and we take a good breakfast and we come back to our house. Was so a beautifull experience, the organization is perfect you gonna have everything for have a perfect experience. They give also a special gift for the birthday of my girlfriend that was not expected and was so so nice surprise, they are really special people!! I recdomand to do this experience to sleep in the desert because is something magic that everyone need to do in their life! Big big thank you for the organization and all the staff! Thank you Oscar knight tour for this beautiful experience!
If you have the chance to do this, do it! It was an unforgettable experience for us! Not only our driver Qurban was really nice and friendly and took a lot of beautiful pictures of us but he has a lot of experience of driving securely through desert! After driving through the desert, which was really impressive, we enjoyed a nice ride on the camels! This experience was followed by the delicious BBQ and the amazing show! But our highlight was to experience sleeping in the desert and waking up early to enjoy the sunrise on the back of camels again! Sleeping in the tent was as well really conformtable! The pick up and drop off at the hotel worked without any problems, everything was organized well! I can really recommend this to anyone who wants to make a really authentic and exceptional experience! Thank you so much!!
This is the fourth time that I do this amazing escape with Oscar Knight, they are the best ones, best service and best experience, our guide was Qurban and he made us feel so comfortable since the begining, he drove us to the dunes and it was so cool, then we did the camel riding with the sunset, we ate dates and arabic tea at the desert campament, we had a super tasty and great bbq dinner watching the shows of belly dancing and others. After this, we smoked a sisha under the moon and the stars. Best experience and highly recommended!!

The trip was amazing. Worth the money. Amazing dessert. Btw noor also take a good pic. I definitely will meet noor again with my friends before i left dubai.

All was amazing! My mom is so happy because of our trip! Thanks Numan! I will grab my friends also again!
Sajud was great.. and very professional we enjoyed our time and it was fun, def great service and guidance.
The entertainment was non-stop from the moment that we hopped into the car - Naser and the Oscar Knight team were wonderful hosts. From the thrilling dune bashing to the awe-inspiring falcon show - we loved every minute of it. Absolutely worth doing - the best night we've had out in Dubai.
This was absolutely Unforgettable Experience. The whole team, took a really good care of us. The safari, dune riding, camel riding and night were awesome! I definitely recommend this company. We enjoyed a lot! Numan and his team were really helpful!
My Wife, Sister and myself Visited Dubai for Christmas and New Years 2020. and Undoubtedly this was one of the best experience from our vacation. Everything from the time we were picked up by our wonderful guide, Numan, all the way until we were dropped off, I cant find a single thing to complain about. Numan took us through the Dune bashing and let us experience the sandboarding which was super fun. He made sure everyone were comfortable throughout the trip. He constantly made sure that we were on time so that we didn't miss a single experience. The sunset, the Arabian coffee, the Falcon show, the camel ride, everything was wonderful. The desert camp and all the performances & experiences there were amazing. The host made this extra memorable by accommodating a surprise birthday celebration for my wife. Thanks to the team, for arranging this. Our guide there, Mr Mufi, was a wonderful and sweet person. The hospitality was amazing, we had a very good time. He is also great with taking pictures and he took wonderful pictures for us and made sure we had no issues what so ever during our stay. We are Vegetarians and the Food that was served was delicious. I have no complaints there. All in all, a great and must do experience. Kudos to the whole team!
Everything was exceptional , some of the most friendly and attentive people you will ever meet. Nisar (our driver) and Mufi ( our personal butler not really but felt like he was ) were just fantastic. The Dune bashing was the real thing not like some other tours I have done . The shows was good and all in all a great experience we will bringing all our friends and family who come and visit Dubai to you again.
We did the overnight desert safari and got so much more than expected! Dune bashing, sand boarding, incredible food for dinner with a show, shisha, option to quad bike, sunrise camel walk with incredibly picturesque tea after. Would recommend this tour highly to anyone living in or just visiting Dubai to do it. (Bring warm clothes for the sunrise trek!) We had Nissar as our guide who was fantastic and very friendly, made sure we were okay at all times and brilliant behind the wheel of a land cruiser. See you again soon!
Wow! What a trip! Our tour guide Iqbal made all the difference, he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best trip! This is a MUST for anyone visiting Dubai, great fun & memories that will stay with us forever. P.S, Anyone nervous about Covid-19, the team all wear masks, regularly provide hand sanitisers - whilst brining back a sense of ‘normality’ - needed for us!
Me and my partner came for 10 days to Dubai to see our friends in the main city but realised we needed to experience more culture! We cancelled our flights and booked a night with Oscar Knight Tours for the overnight safari and wow- it exceeded our expectations more than you can believe! We have been treated like VIPs, we got a personalised service with all the listed experiences. Iqbal our tour guide accompanied us the whole way and was so helpful and insightful. I’ve attached photos of some of our experiences- dune bashing is a must! I would highly recommend this tour, more food than you can even eat and great variety with vegetarian options! It’s just a shame it’s over so soon!
VIP attitude for a regular price! Would definitely recommend this company for any activities in the dessert. Even during COVID epidemic I felt very safe. Another thanks to our guide Iqbal: extreme dune driving and fun time together.
We’ve had such a nice guide Iqbal. Totally enjoyed the experience. Camel tour, amazing dinner and perfect dine ride with such lovely and friendly guide Iqbal. Totally recommend the experience
The entire experience was amazing. Iqbal was our tour guide and he did a great job. Everything flowed nicely. The views were wonderful. The nighttime entertainment was also really nice. The food was good and the accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Watching the sunrise was dreamy! I would definitely do this again.
I lovedddd everythingggg!!! Quad bike, dune bashing, sand boarding, the show, FOOOD, camel riding, sunset, breakfast!! Nasir and Mufi were amazing and hospitality was A1. I was researching other companies doing this tour and decided to go with this one because of the review and the people before me were not lying on the reviews. The staff, company, and activities were so much fun. Overnight stay was comfortable and relaxing. Loved it.
This trip was amazing! From the beginning of the hotel pick up until the very last minute going back to our hotel the next morning. Nasir was so polite and a great host. Very funny and great listener. We took the optional quad bike ride in the desert which was well worth the money (not expensive). The camel ride was perfect watching the sunset. The staff back at the camp, Mufi, were also very polite and took great pictures. The food and show was very cultural and pleasant. The camp site was clean and as modern as it could get (in the desert) I felt comfortable and no you do not sleep outside. They actually have a room with a bed :)!!! I would definitely recommend this trip. Great price, great staff, great activities, and great food. Thank you Nasir and staff for making this trip amazing for us.
It was a great experience and excellent service. I recommend it 100%. Our guide Hameed was friendly and helpful
Had an amazing experience with the great guide Hameed! He took a lot of memorable pictures for my family, and was super generous to take care of us till he left at night in another guide’s hands. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits Dubai👍🏻
Ajmal was my tour guide for this and was very friendly and helpful. Everyone in this tour company is very friendly and helpful and fun to talk to. They all make you feel very welcome and cared for. I had a great experience from pickup to drop-off. For solo travelers, you’ll meet people from all over the world and make new friends. The sleeping arrangements were very comfortable for a desert stay. Complete with air conditioning and a refrigerator. The little camp was cozy and safe. Perfect for astrophotography and just plain seclusion from busy life. I completely recommend. My best part was the morning camel trek to the sunrise spot. Just amazing.
Great experience, our driver numan was just perfect, and our camp host mufi, both awesome, the driver, very knowledgeable, kind and friendly, our host mufi, just amazing. Highly recomended. S.Molina
It was really amaziiing experience!! Iqbal was the best guide ever from the moment he pick us up and through the whole day! Very thoughtful staff and such a good service that everyone should experience at least once. We had overnight in their camp and it was also perfect! Mufi was taking care of us there and was the best host we could ever imagine. Rashid took us back home nice and safely! I would recommend to everyone to try and of course we will come back again and bring our family and friends.
Simply the best experience I had along with my family and family friends. I have been to desert safaris earlier in Dubai, but this was a different experience all together. The wow feeling started with our tour guide/driver Mr.Farooq Abdullah :), it just took couple of minutes to break the ice. He was lively, engaged into humorous conversations and was equally caring. He made the entire experience superior. Kudos to Abdullah!!! At camp , it was Mr Mufid who was splendid with his hospitality. We stayed overnight in the camp and he took all care to ensure we were comfortable and looked after. The entertainment shows were splendid and the food too was good. ( I wish that the breakfast was better) What I liked is that everything which was promised while booking was delivered and was delivered by all with a smile on the face. Abdullah, Mufid and even the online customer care everyone had a single objective, happiness for us. Great going Oscar knights !!! Keep growing and keep spreading the smiles!!! Safari experience on 9th - 10th Feb 2020.
