A disappointing experience for our family group of 5 adults for an adventure that was to be one of the highlights of the trip to Dubai and one we were so looking forward to. The Hummer that was send to pick us up had not been cleaned on the inside and was poorly presented. The driver, while at times had... More

I went on the Oasis Palm Desert Safari in late December 2010 with 2 adult family members. The whole evening was a disgrace and a complete waste of money. The driver was rude and sullen and didn't speak except to grunt at us. As the vehicle was full, we were crowded into the far back extra seats in the four-wheel-drive... More

We booked the safari with oasis palm after a local recommendation. Despite leaving all details with the company, the driver was not given the address for pickup. Ended up picking us late. He then made a unilateral decision to change the venue for the dune bashing. This turned out to be most disappointing. The company had booked twice the number... More

We were picked from our place of stay around 3.30 pm. It was an 45 mins drive from Al nadha to Hatta border the place wher they conduct dune bashing. After assembling in a place, ard 35-40 cars started roaring inside the desert. It was a roller coaster ride. V really enjoyed it which lasted for half an hour. Then... More

We chose Oasis travel after bit of research and was recommended to us by few colleagues. The driver arrived to pick us on time but turned out that he had to pick more people from all the way on the other side of Dubai and it took us one hour and 15 min before we finally started towards the desert....

The desert safari wIth oasis palm was great. They picked us up from the hotel (they were late tho- they arrived at 4pm when the agreed time was 3pm but at least we were able to rest) and went to the area where they have the sand dune bashing which was exciting and a new experience for us. They would... More

I have just returned from a few days in Dubai and while I was there I wanted to spend a night camping in the desert. Although I'm not normally into organized trips and tours, it seemed the only safe way to be able to do this, being a single female traveller. I stayed at two different hotels in Dubai and... More

We had a great time riding the dunes in a professionally driven SUV, followed by a great meal at the desert "camp." Although we visited during Ramandan, the experience was a favorite of my family. They picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back off at the end of the night. The staff was very friendly and they... More

Went on about my 8th desert safari earlier this month, however this time tried Oasis Palm. Having been impressed by Arabian Nights and Arabian Adventuires before I expected no less fromhis company, booked through North Tours. I think a lot of the experience depends on your guide and how much fun they are willing to have. This driver was sadly... More
