A good starter tour for your Dubai visit

An interesting small-group tour led by very personable tour guide Abdul Bashir. A moderate amount of walking required. Plenty of bottled water provided. Hotel pickup/dropoff provided. Included the Palm, Blue Mosque, gold and spice souks and ending at Dubai Frame. Good value and very informative! Better than previous Dubai city tours. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience in Dubai!!

The guide Mohamed Alí speaks Spanish perfectly and he is very friendly, he explained us with details all places we visited and see: The Palm Jumeira area, gold and spices market, Blue Mosque, etc... We enjoyed a great day!
Great

Superb Tour with Excellent TourGuide

We decided to take part in the half day Dubai Tour + Dubai Frame. What got our attention is – apart from the planned tour – the high rate of positive reviews with OceanAir.
Our Tour guide was Mohamed Ali. He was an awesome guide and did an amazing job in making this half-day tour unforgettable. He explained many details and informed us about life in Dubai, the UAE, history, Islam, traditions, etc..
It was a funny and interesting tour. The communication the day before was very guide as they informed us about the tour again and when our pick-up time at the hotel will be (within 15 minutes timeslot). The guide picked us up on-time. The tour went a little bit longer than planned, but that was no issue at all. The guide gave us enough time at every stop to explore things, go around and to shop when it comes to the souk area.
The restaurant at the end was amazing. We went for the tour with the lunch option in advance, so we had lunch already included, which consisted of a soup, a salad, and a main course of our choice for a fair price. If you think you are hungry at the end of the tour, the food option that is offered with the tour is a good choice and cheaper than ordering the food there without having chosen the lunch option that is offered with the tour.
A big shoutout to OceanAir and Mohamed Ali for this amazing experience. We had an amazing time.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable on history of the area, a good photographer, friendly. It was a great option during a long layover. There was some time to shop at the Souk and grab a snack. I would recommend for a quick look at sights around the city.
Amazing and insightful experience
Tamanna_ahad, 12-12-2022
This was a very insightful and fun tour. A massive shout out to our guide Maaz Khan who made this tour very entertaining. He was funny, patient and informative about each place we went to and knew all the photo stops and took really good photos of us. The Blue mosque was beautiful and they also provide clothes to enter the mosque. The souks were also interesting and in the Al Khayma Heritage House Maaz explained to us in detail of how Dubai has become the city it is now which was really interesting and the food there was also really good. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Great

We were having family holiday in Dubai last week and we booked with Ocean Air Travel, our guide is Maaz Khan, he is very kind, very patient and he told us lots of history about Dubai City. We were really having great time with him. Thankyou Khan and Ocean Air for creating such a memorable holiday for my family :)

CollinsJean, 06-01-2023
Had an extremely fun trip! Learned a lot about Dubai’s history (Spoiler alert. It wasn’t boring!), seen all the great landmarks and had the chance to see… and taste some of the local culture.
If you’re lucky, you will get Riah, hands down the best guide I’ve had!

An excellent tour. The tour guide ( Ramadam) was exremely informative about all aspects of Dubai. He was particularly knowledgeable concerning the growth and expansion of the Emerates as well as the Muslim religion and procedures in the mosques. He guided us from the Atlantis to the souks and we felt we had definitely seen Dubai on our trip.
Amazing

The trip was great, the driver Firos was very careful and nice. Overall a great experience. Everything was perfect.
The guide was excellent and he made the tour much more enjoyable.

The visit to the heritage restaurant. I would have liked more time here. We were late arriving so time was short.
I am not sure if those booked for a photography tour and those not should be in the same group.
There was, in my opinion some disrespect shown at the mosque in terms of taking photographs and posing for photographs in the mosque.
