Explore the desert in a 4x4 vehicle, bashing the huge dunes. The fun continues with a chance to try out sandboarding. Follow the instructions and glide over the dunes as you see how simple it really is. During the safari there will be plenty of opportunity to pose for some photos in the desert.

Top experience
Morning desert safari with Ocean Air was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Our driver and guide, Shine Davis, was excellent — very friendly, professional, and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time. The desert drive was exciting but felt completely safe, and the scenery was beautiful. The camel ride was just the right length — long enough to enjoy and make it memorable, without feeling rushed or tiring. There was also an option to ride quad bikes, which was handled safely. I especially recommend the morning safari: the temperatures are more comfortable, the desert is peaceful, and the light is perfect for photos. Overall, a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
Great experience!
