About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Roam294117597870 contributionsUnprofessional Photoshoot!The experience was appalling! We changed into dresses, given to us from a bag, in the car! I had 11 photos whereas some had 22 photos. We could have changed at the camp where we waited for 30 minutes prior to the shoot. My dress was the wrong size, therefore I was very displeased with my photos. Totally unprofessional.Written 2 July 2024
- sanivi0 contributionsUnforgettableGreat experience! Your guide Hassan was so nice and entertaining. And our photographer Alex took amazing photos. I highly recommend this tour. Great value!Written 20 May 2024
- 692ayeshan0 contributionsBeautiful tour of Sheikh Zayed MosqueThis is an amazing tour with spectacular views of the mosque. It was an incredible experience and we highly recommend it. Riz was our tour guide and he was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would do this tour again because of the wonderful experience.Written 5 May 2024
- LBSB19770 contributionsFabulous Flying Dress experience with Iltaf and our photographer Alex.We had hotel pick-up, followed by an 8 am hour drive to our photos in the sand. We skipped the quad as we were excited to take our photos. After a thrilling drive over sand dunes - we stopped in the middle - to take photos. Given perfect privacy we changed into our flying dresses. One size fits most - but the colors were awesome. Posing in the sand is no joke -but Alex gave directions and waited until we were camera ready😀. Our driver Iltaf, explained how Dubai grew, chose our location, helped our dresses to fly and took extra photos and videos of our group shots. Now we do not have our photos today as they are coming to our email - but we had an absolute ball taking photos. On to the camels for more photos. Traffic was Very heavy coming back- more than 90 minutes. For a great Flying Dress Experience - we highly recommend!!Written 15 March 2024

- novellad3110 contributionsThe Perfect Flying Dress ExperienceI am flying HIGH like the dresses from this experience! Iltaf and Lehbab arrived 20 minites early to pick us up. Their hospitality and mannerisms were great. Prior to arriving tonthe desert hills, we met a trainee named Oliver who was a part of the excursion. All three men were complete gentlemen. They provided me and my friends with the dresses, provided change instructions, and walked away to give us privacy. Once we were changed, it was lights, cameras, and action. This was ONE of my best experiences while in DUBAI! DON'T HESITATE BOOKING THIS. ALSO...be ready for the adventurous ride on the sand hills.Written 15 November 2023
- tomiekac0 contributionsGirls TripThis was an amazing experience that I had on our girls trip. Alexander and Iltaf assisted us throughout the entire excursion from posing during the photo shoot as well as assisting with walking through the sand to capture the perfect pictures Oliver was in training and took pics with my phone during the entire excursion. The pic attached is the one taken with my cell phone This was a great experience.Written 14 November 2023
- afrinax00 contributionsDescription is not accurateThe tour was organized and driver was great; friendly and on time. However the description is not 100% accurate. The first stop is ATV riding. This is NOT included in the price. So for 2 ATV for about 30 minutes, it was $100. Secondly, brunch is NOT included. Dates and drinks are included but that's a snack, not a brunch. In total the experience cost us $240 for 2 people. I would not do it again for this price.Written 11 November 2023

There were 4 of us and we all got our own time and then took a few together. Received the pictures after 5 days and they are beautiful. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.Written 21 September 2023

I felt like I was in a movie!!!! Maybe I was dreaming and still haven’t woken up. Tehseen and the photographer really went out of their way to make the photoshoot extraordinary! The photographer is soooo talented. The flying dress shoot made me feel like a superstar. I felt completely at ease and as a solo female traveler, this tour company is the BEST. I was SO happy that I went and signed up for another Ocean Air tour!!Written 16 September 2023

I had a excellent time with Ocean Air Safari. Our tour guide Mansoor was amazing. Not only was he on time, communicated very well, he was funny with his jokes and even gave us a history lesson on the United Emirates. He took us sandboarding, Dune bashing, camel ride, took pictures with Falcon and got to wear traditional wear for some of those pictures. Mansoor was upbeat, friendly and very accommodating in taking our pictures. I did the overnight Safari and would highly recommend doing it. If you can, ask for Mansoor, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely worth the money. Mansoor Manz was my guide and did a superb job. From the photo stops and ops, to the camel rides and dune bashing, he looked after us.
The BBQ dinner and breakfast were better than expected. We saw a desert sunset and sunrise - awesome. The evening camel ride out to the campfire was a highlight. We sat around the campfire, chatted and were served tea, coffee and snacks. The evening was cool but the stars and solitude were great.
The only downside, and it wasn’t their fault, was that the night was cold and we could have done with a couple of extra blankets. We just didn’t ask.
Really recommend Mansoor and the company.

Contact was first class as I was messaged on Whatsapp by Tour Guys and by our guide Abbas Besso confirming pick up details.
The quad bike stop was fun and decently priced.
Dune bashing and Sand boarding both fun.
The Camp was lovely and like something in a computer game.
Surprisingly GREAT food having a BBQ area and 3 stations with different country options (Moroccan, Arabic and something else).
Loads of water & juice provided (no alcohol available).
Entertainment was good but a bit short.
Arabian costumes available for photos.
It got cool and blankets were provided.
Stargazing was interesting with 4 telescopes and an enthusiastic guide.
The sleeping quarters were MASSIVE, being a comfy bed within a large tent.
Sunrise camel ride was short but enjoyable.
All staff were friendly and professional.

Mansoor and his team have done a really professional job paying attention to the smallest detail. Our food was served with gloved hands by polite and friendly helpers, the rooms were neatly prepared and the restroom facilities were very clean.
I loved the show, the food, the camel rides and was really impressed with how everything was managed.
Strongly recommend this experience to everyone!

Just completed the overnight stay and can't help not to give an immediate feedback. The programe for overnight safari is fun filled, splendidly done, and well organized for a family of three boys. The campsite is well kept. Beds, pillows and blankets are neat and clean. Food quality is good and quantity is never an issue. Our tour guide Manz (Mansoor) is amazing, he always gives the extra touch that adds more comfort to your experience. Highly recommended tour for family with kids and teenagers.

Cannot recommend highly enough.
Absolutely fantastic experience and will definitely be a night both my son and I remember for a long time to come.
Mansoor was a fantastic tour guide and couldn't do enough to make our safari a wonderful experience.
To go into too much detail would spoil the fun but we booked the overnight stay and at the end of the night we were joined by Ali and Islam who were as equally as friendly and knowledgeable as Mansoor.
We sat around a campfire until the early hours drinking Arabic tea and learning about life in the desert, the national sport of falconry and the culture and history of Dubai.
This was part of a family holiday in Dubai and given all the activities that we did, if I had to recommend just one activity, this would be it. :)
Thank you Mansoor, Ali and Islam for a wonderful evening.

I thoroughly enjoyed my overnight trip. The dune bashing was exhilarating. Being summer, the sandboarding was almost too hot too enjoy, but the dinner and shows at the camp were excellent. However, the best part was when all the other guests left and we stayed overnight in the camp. We were the only two overnight guests. We enjoyed a fantastic evening camel ride to a small sitting area with hookah, a fire for making tea, and great company with a few employees. It was a one of a kind experience. The tent was quite warm overnight but a giant fan helped keep up cool. Our guide, Mansour Manz, took excellent care of us the entire time. Aside from the burning sun, we couldn't have asked for a better trip. Would gladly come again!

Hello
How big is the group each night, and is the dune bashing essential to do? Concerned due to motion sickness issues. Thanks.
Written 3 January 2020
Hi Guest,
Greetings and thank you for approaching us :)
Normally we do have a booking for 10 -15 guests for the overnight safari, It may change the number of passengers based on tour date.
Option 1:If you don't want to do dune bashing Activity you can wait at the meeting area while others go for dune bashing. After they finish dune bashing they will pick you up and go to the camp. Please note that you will have to wait at the meeting area for 1hour 20 mins.
Option 2: You have to book a private Tour Option.
