About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Maria L0 contributionsUnforgettable Bedouin Desert AdventureIf you’re looking for an unforgettable desert experience near Dubai, this Bedouin adventure is a MUST! We spent the night in a super comfortable tent right in the heart of the desert, which was cozy, private, and beautifully designed to make you feel like you were stepping back in time while still enjoying modern comfort. The highlight of the evening was tea and freshly baked bread made right in front of us over an open fire. The local dishes were a real treat—so full of flavor and served in the most welcoming way. The performances were a blast, including the stunning Arabian horses mesmerizing us. We also had the chance to dress up in traditional local attire, which added a fun, immersive touch to the whole experience. A special shoutout to our guide, Zaheer, who went above and beyond to make sure our time there was nothing short of perfect. He even woke up early just to arrange our camel ride in the sunrise! Zaheer’s passion for sharing the culture and ensuring we had a fantastic time made all the difference. Highly recommend making this a must-do experience on your Dubai itinerary.Written February 6, 2025
- charlottefF5729OE0 contributionsWonderful Morning at Al Marmoom :)My Aunt & I booked this experience because we wanted to learn more about the history & heritage of Dubai & to see some of the wildlife in the area. This experience was exactly what we were seeking. Our guide, Babar, was hospitable, knowledgeable & passionate about the area - it's past, present & future. We learned a lot from him & he was happy to answer any questions that we had. We visited the Flamingo Lake (one of three lakes at the reserve) & spotted a variety of birds - including flamingos, herons, cormorants, Egyptian geese etc. The lakes are a great way to connect with the nature & wildlife of the area. We then took a safari in a Vintage G Class car around the reserve & spotted different birds, as well as sand & mountain gazelles & maras (a new animal for me!). We then enjoyed Arabic tea/coffee, alongside a traditional Arabic breakfast, served in a comfortable & cool tent with beautiful views overlooking the camp. If you are seeking an authentic experience, in a peaceful setting & to learn more about the nature & wildlife of Dubai, then this is the right tour for you!Written February 1, 2025
- annemarlyc0 contributionsGreat People at Oceanair and Al Marmoom CampsiteMr. Faizal from Oceanair picked us up promptly and made sure we had the best possible experience during our desert adventure. The SUV ride was smooth and enjoyable. Mr. Faizal personally guided us and ensured our quad bike ride was both safe and fun. He also assisted with sandboarding, patiently helping anyone who wanted to give it a try. He ensured we stick to our schedule so we don't miss the sunset. He even pre ordered lemony corn in a cup to share. At the Al Marmoom campsite, we enjoyed camel rides at both sunrise and sunset! The dinner spread was a royal feast, with 21 different dishes. The entertainment shows were fun, and the tent accommodations were comfortable, offering a peaceful night’s sleep. The henna tatoo artist was so skilled that she could finish one hand in 2 minutes. The only thing that disappointed us was missing the stargazing which ended too early. Anwar, the camel guide, was excellent and very patient! He made our sunrise camel ride unforgettable. Both Anwar and the falcon handler were great, providing us with Instagram-worthy pictures! Zaheer Mehboob was also fantastic. He constantly checked in to ensure we had enough tea and weren’t hungry. His grilled corn, popcorn, pipping hot milk teas were delicious! He made sure we were well-fed and treated like royalty. Zaheer is not only friendly but also great at photography. Just before we left, he made sure we double-checked our tents to avoid leaving anything behind.Written January 30, 2025

- zlzoul0 contributionsMust try experience in Dubai!Had a great morning with our guide Lucky to this reserve and camp. There are many options to do things in the desert and this is one of the best! The tour starts with a ride to the reserve and you can see many animals there. Then there is a G-Class ride to see more animals and dune. Our guide Lucky is a great photo taker and took a lot of great videos and photos that could be memorized for life. He also explained and help us find many animals there. Then there is a nice Camel ride and a great set breakfast in the camp to enjoy before heading back. You can’t miss the photo opportunity with the Falcon as well!Written December 31, 2024

I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique experience in Dubai.Written December 10, 2024

Highly recommended! 5 Stars, Arslan our tour guide picked us up from our hotel in an air conditioned SUV and drove us out to the conservation park where he talked through the tour ahead, the animals we would see and experiences. He is a safe driver with lots of knowledge of Dubai and UAE. We drove to Flamingo lake to see the flamingos and swans, into the conservation park to ride camels, drove into the sand dunes in Vintage Mercedes 4WD and take photos at sunset. Enjoyed a falcon show, which was magical. Back to the traditional Bedouin camp set up with traditional tents, carpets and wood fires. We had traditional welcome coffee, tea and sweet bread. Then were taken to our table where the food was abundant, dips, BBQ chicken, kofta, lamb shoulder, salads, rice, breads..we couldn’t finish our food. Then they brought out desserts and fruit, too much delicious food. We then enjoyed traditional performances, my favourite the Arabian horse show! Thank you again Arslan for a wonderful night we will never forget.

This desert trip exceeded our expectations by far. Our GUIDE Ramish picked us up on time at the agreed location. He responded to our requests and questions and tried very hard to make this day a very special one. He took the time to stop for photo ops.
The camel ride was as long as announced, the coffee and tea break was in a beautiful place. The breakfast afterwards was also delicious!
This desert tour was very well organized, the price-performance ratio was good - in short: we can really recommend this adventure!

This trip will stay forever in our memories, because it was so unique and full of impressive moments. The tour was organised and composed perfectly and thanks to our great guide and experienced driver Majid Baloch we could enjoy every moment of this adventure. Thanks to the oldtimer jeeps we could enjoy an open air live experience of riding in the dunes with a spectacular view over the desert allowing for amazing fotos in the sunset. The tour is giving you a VIP feeling and differs from the variety of other tours in closed 4-wheels. The falcon show was delighting and was a very special experience for our daughter (and us). The staff was very kind and patient to welcome everyone at the various experiences like camel ride and dining at the camp. We enjoyed the atmosphere and wished that the tour would not end 😀

This is so far the best Safari experience I ever had. The camel ride, the g class ride spotting animals into the desert conservation reserve centre. Beautiful birds near lake side during sunset was stunning view. Good was amazing and I had alot even though I am not a foodie at all.
Hina painting, camel feeding experience and traditional live music with falcon show. Everything was so beautifully organized and enchanted. Our guide Mr. Muhammad Imran khan was very respectful towards everyone in the group. He knows how to keep group environment positive and his spontaneous Jokes would make you laugh. I definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.

A breathtakingly beautiful tour that I can only recommend! Thanks to our guide Ozzy, the pick-up at Dubai Harbour in the middle of a huge crowd went absolutely smoothly! At the gates of loud and bustling Dubai, we felt like we had been transported to another time in the peaceful Al Marmoom oasis. We more than enjoyed the camel ride, the falcon show and the drive through the reserve in the G-Class Mercedes! Ozzy, who turned out to be an incredibly friendly and excellent driver and looked after us very carefully throughout the tour, knew exactly where to see the wild animals that we were so looking forward to. The sumptuous dinner was absolutely delicious and even the sunset was perfect. And my teenage daughter is still very proud of the henna tattoo she got there. All in all, a tour that I would book again in a heartbeat!

we were on Dubai heritage safari bj vintage G class Al Marmoom Oasis. on the way to the desert, our guide informed us about the city of Dubai itself, culture, economy, historical facts, population and answered our questions. the guide is called Babar and he is one of the best, if not the best, I have met in the world. upon arrival in the desert, we were greeted by friendly bedouin locals where we were given scarves to protect from the sun. first we rode camels, and after that our guide Babar took us through the desert dunes and took a couple of superb photos that will be memories for a lifetime. after that we returned to the settlement for a superb breakfast with the Bedouins. warm, kind and unobtrusive hosts were with us all the time. on the way to our hotel, our Babar gave us some more information and advice, and we definitely recommend him for an unforgettable safari trip!

This was the second time we did this safari. We went last year, but this year took our family including my elderly parents along as well, and requested for the same guide Arsi (Arsalan) to take us.
This Sarafi experience is way better than the typical tourist safari options in Dubai. The whole experience is more customized and not as crowded. The 45-50 mins safari in the vintage G class vehicles is really enjoyable. Arsi helped spot animals like the gazelle, and told us about the desert way of life. He patiently took really good care of my parents, making sure that they were comfortable with the prospective of a bumpy ride through the desert. The food served at the camp is scrumptious and we were barely able to finish half of it !
The evening ended with some really good shows in the open camp area. That was the only minor dissapointment, as last year the camp setting was really intimate and the show duration was longer. But comparing to the gimmicky shows I've seen in other desert safari, this one is definitely worth the cost!
Highly recommend Arsi (Arsalan) as the guide. My parents loved the chats with him through the evening. He gives so much attention to making sure his guests have a good time. This safari is more expensive than the regular ones, but completely worth it!

Solo traveling, female and first-time in Dubai . Wanted a tour with a guid and the choice I made was beyond the most perfect. The only hold back I had before booking was that I did saw a few options of desert activities at a more cheaper price. I want to say play less get less , and the booking I did had so much activities, and my only minus will be that I left food on the table , it was amazing good , but so much too good and to much so skip lunch and make room for dinner, glad to hear it didn't go to waste, and that the staff will get the uneaten piece of cake. When they promote go to the desert among natives/traditional/living in the desert. Well the staff at the camp they actually live there and they take care of camels , mentenance etc so yeah glad they "sacrifice themselves" and got all those extra calories from the cakes I couldn't finish . An other note . When booking I was expecting a full day trip and being told I get picked up at 4:30 got me a bit concerned. Let me tell you is plenty of time , desert is really hot and you don't want to be there mid day . And it goes really late into the night and the evening by the lake with the dim light just adds an extra charm to it , just chilling with a shisha watching a fireshow , belly dancing and smelling of rose water .

We have enjoyed our trip from the first moment on. Starting with the pick up and a personal greeting from the tour guide. At the camp we were welcomed very nicely with authentic Arabic head garment.
The highlight for us was the trip through the desert and Reservat, seeing the wildlife up close and stopping for pictures and taking in the smells and sounds of the desert.
The food was prepared on point, we highly recommend to taste the black tea.
If you can request a tour guide, we recommend to request Imran Khan. With his positive nature and his expertise and knowledge about the desert and its inhabitants he created an atmosphere which made the trip even more memorable.
The limited amount of guests in the camp added the private feeling that we booked.
They hand you water at any time during the trip, which helps especially during the warm season.
We thank Anam for recommending and organizing this trip for us. We will definitely keep it on our short list for our next trip to Dubai.
