This adventure is surely one that cannot be missed. It was exhilarating going through the dunes and sand boarding. Arriving at the desert oasis was something I will never forget. Camel rides, meeting a falcon, hookas, excellent food with an excellent show, this trip exceeded my expectations. And for a fantastic price to boot!

Oceanair is a very well organised and well run operation. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending them, and would definitely use them again. Communication before the tour was first rate too. We had Ali as our driver/guide, and I would ask for him again. He made sure we were able to do every single part of the experience and were happy with how the tour was progressing. He was very friendly and helpful at all times. I would go so far as to say that his professionalism and attention to our enjoyment were a huge part of why we enjoyed the tour so much. If it were possible, I would give him a 6 star rating.
