We were picked up on time at 3 pm from our Downtown hotel in a comfortable Toyota LandCruiser. There were only 3 tourists total including ourselves. Our fantastic driver/guide was SAAJ. He was very good about letting us know the itinerary, providing us drinks, and taking incredible photos with our phone cameras. The man is a genius at funny photos, action shots, and memory making!
We had two camel safaris at two different locations. In between, we did some serious dune bashing in the LandCruiser and sandboarding (mostly we did it like tobogganing - you must try it!). We noticed that SAAJ was always the leader of all the tour cars when we were in the sand - he knew what he was doing. This is why we recommend you ask for him when you book your tour.
The Bedouin camp oasis was interesting; my daughter got henna painting and you can make other special photo memories.
The buffet was huge with lots of choices. The meat entrees were fantastic (especially the lamb kebabs and chicken drumsticks). The vegetarian options were OK but not worth writing home about.
The highlight of the entertainment after the dinner was the oud (Arabian guitar) player and the fire eater. The dancers got a little repetitive and the speakers were way too loud so I retreated to the back.
SAAJ took us to look at some wild antelope on the way home. We got back before 10 pm. Then SAAJ later sent us another 100 photos he took of us on his phone!
All of our tours with Ocean Air were magnificent. But this one was special and we owe it to our great driver, SAAJ.
Book with confidence!
