WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN BOOKING A DUBAI SAFARI WITH OCEAN AIR TRAVELS
Verdict: It can be a great experience with good value if you book for the right reasons.
✅️ ATV in the desert was amazing
✅️ Good buffet and snacks at the camp
✅️ Many activities at the camp (camels, horses, henna, ho**ah etc.)
✅️ Great price for the amount of activities
⛔️ Not a luxurious experience, rather quantity over quality
⛔️ Hit-or-miss with tour guides: ours barely explained what was going on or interacted with us
⛔️ ATV can be challenging for inexperienced drivers and can be dangerous, so wouldn't recommend if you don't feel somewhat confident that you can drive it
💡 Tip: The ATV engine gets super hot, so long pants are recommended. If you're wearing loose pants, make sure to tuck them into your socks.. my pants got burned by the engine 😅
We booked the tour on Viator:
"Dubai Red Dunes ATV, Camels, Stargazing & 5* BBQ AI Khayma Camp"
2:30pm timeslot, 35min ATV single bike
Price: $79 / person
➡️ I picked this tour over the more reputable providers (Arabian Adventures, Platinum Heritage), because I really wanted to ride an ATV in the open desert and have more options for activities.
It delivered on that and I would recommend this to people that value variety over luxury.
