Desert experience with the (young) family!
A great afternoon and evening - we loved the dune bashing, kids loved the canals and fire show! The food / BBQ was great. Our guide Hasim was great, punctual, polite and patient with our 3 and 5 year old children who loved the experience! Thank you!

Amazing!
We had an absolutely incredible experience yesterday with Oceanair Travels during our holiday in Dubai! 🐪🏜️ The desert safari was simply fantastic and extremely well organised from beginning to end. We enjoyed quad biking, dune bashing, sandboarding, and a camel ride, watched several amazing live shows, and finished with a delicious dinner — all in the stunning setting of the desert. Although the entire experience was excellent, what truly made it special was our guide and driver, Zada Irfan. From the very beginning, he was incredibly attentive, professional, friendly, and welcoming. He explained everything to us, stayed with us throughout the whole experience, and was always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Zada made us feel so comfortable that it didn't feel like we were simply doing a tour with a guide — it felt like we were experiencing this adventure with our big brother. ❤️ It was a truly unforgettable experience, and one that we will remember for a very long time. We highly recommend Oceanair Travels and, above all, Zada Irfan! If you have the opportunity to do this desert safari, don't hesitate — it is absolutely worth it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lot of fun!
Think that the camp and the hawk photo was a bit outdated part of this adventure. Did not actually get anything from it except toilets were there. But the camelride was fun! Took maybe 10 minutes, but was quite enough. And the best part was absolutely the cardrive in the sand. Our driver Azhar from OceanAir Travels was excellent driver! You listen to arabic rap with a lot of basso from the subwoofer and just enjoy the ride. Our morning trip took three hours all together, we were fast. Left at 9 AM and was back by noon. TIPS: Wear a hat or scarve, it gets hot during the camel ride. Be careful of motion sickness in the car if you suffer from that.
Response from the operator: Hi Jalle! Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the camel ride and the sand driving experience with Azhar. Your tips about sun protection and motion sickness are very helpful. We’ll also share your comments about the camp setup to continue improving the adventure for all guests.

That it is a verry...
That it is a verry relaxing excursion. But we find it too relaxing. We were picked up at 3 pm and we were there at 4 pm. Immidiatly we had a kamelride.Than is was 4.30 pm and than we have to weight till 6.30 before the bbq was open. After that there came 3 shows each 10 minutes. And than suddenly it is over. There was too mich time between the arrivel and the food there was too much time.
Response from the operator: Hi Jaqueline! Really appreciate your honest feedback about the timing. Your point about the waiting period is clear and will be shared with the operations team to improve the flow of the experience.

Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 51 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers?
+
Included: Arabic Coffee & Luqaimat; Henna tattoo and Shisha station; Stargazing session with a telescope; Unlimited cold mineral water & soft drinks; and Pick-up and drop-off shared transfers. Not included: Any extra services or expenses not mentioned above. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 943 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Dubai Al Khayma Camp Experience with BBQ Dinner and Transfers if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Dubai. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
