Itinerary
Have you been to Dubai's Largest Unfenced Desert Reserve? We start our 50-minute tour to Al Marmoom from the hotel or accommodation in Dubai in a modern air-conditioned vehicle.
We shall begin our trip by boarding the Vintage G Class Mercedes 1980s from Al Marmoom Desert Reserve. During our 30-40 minute journey through the reserve, we pause for a photo stop. It is a wonderful opportunity to hear about Dubai's history and Bedouin lifestyle. While touring the desert, we'll be lucky to see desert animals and birds.
Arriving at the Bedouin Village, you will be greeted with gahwa and sweets before heading to the camel caravan ride, where you will enjoy the desert flora and fauna. Returning to the Bedouin Village, we shall see a live Arabic coffee-making session, tasting the coffee thereafter. Also, enjoy dressing up in Arabic attire and posing with the magnificent falcon before savoring the flavors of a typical Bedouin breakfast, admiring the beauty of a desert oasis.
Once we wind up the Dubai Morning Safari at Al Marmoom Oasis, we will drive you back to your hotel or accommodation in Dubai.

It was a great experience. Ali our tour guide, was cheerful, funny, accommodating and responded to All participants. In addition to details about the tour, I also learned a lot about Dubai and its tradition. Start was 14:30 at the hotel. By the time everyone had been collected and we had reached the destination through heavy traffic, it had become early evening, ideal as it was already cooling down a bit and the desert presented itself in a fantastic light. All parts of the tour were well organized, starting with the camel ride to the final fire show. And the dinner was eclectic and opulent. Around 22:30 Ali dropped us off at the hotel again. 700 dirhams for 2 people is a lot of money, but it was worth it
Mustafa our guide was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The safari, the camel ride and breakfast just what we wanted. Loads of photos were taken for us. Definitely recommend this tour
Ali, our guide, was great Good fun, informative on all sorts of local interests and a safe driver. Breakfast was good, best refried beans I have tasted
What a great and family-friendly expirience - we rode camels, drove in the desert watching animals, climbed a few sand dunes, held a falcon and had a fresh, varied and local breakfest. All through the expirence our guide Yasir gave relevant and enlightning information, were fun company and even helped us create a little treasure hunt for our three year old son, so he could find “Aladdins lamp” in the sand. Highly recommended. One Advice to the companys homepage creator: when going in the desert with a three year old, you want to make sure, that the trip is age appropriate - because you don’t want a rough dune bashing ride with a small child. This trip absolutely works for all ages, but it wasn’t completely clear from the homepage.
Fantastic Experience with our guide Saeed for the Morning Heritage Safari with animal spotting, dunes scenery, camel riding and Bedouin breakfast at Al Marmoon Oasis.
I was skeptical whether this was a tourist trap, lots of other reviews of similar tours have suggested this. This tour was the opposite, it was very relaxed and professional. Mustafa, our guide, was amazing from the start to the finish, pointing out interesting things on the drive to/from the safari. We started with a fantastic breakfast of dips, falafel, bread, dates, tea and coffee. The food was honestly the best breakfast we had in Dubai on our trip. We then had a fun encounter with a falcon, taking turns to hold it and get photos/videos. Following that was a 15-30 minutes camel ride with traditional head dress Finally we moved to an open top G wagon and drove around the reserve where we saw different animals and stopped for photos in the desert dunes. I couldn’t recommend this tour more for families with younger children or for those not interested in dune bashing and atv rides
Very nice experience with a friendly and very professional guide named Babar who has been living in Dubai for 10 years. We were looking for a relaxed trip and we’re not disappointed at all, friendly staff overall, great food, and perfect if you’re looking for great pictures. Highly recommended
We had an experience of a lifetime! Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed our time on this desert safari. We rode camels, saw a variety of wildlife, took a trip over the sand dunes, and had lunch Bedouin style in a tent. Extraordinary! But these experiences were made magical with the kind, professional and informative staff. We want to specially thank Saeed and Zaheer. They made us feel like welcome guests and friends.
Excellent trip, it was very peaceful and the scenery was fantastic. It was interesting to see the animals and meet the camels. The food was fantastic. The guide Saeed was excellent and really went above and beyond.
Attending the morning group was a very nice experience, few people, fresh air, our family almost enveloped the whole venue. Lucky is responsible for the delivery of our family, very friendly to children, timely delivery, service is also good. Children can also enjoy watching animals, riding and playing with sand.
