Who Orient Tours is
Orient Tours is one of the older names in UAE inbound tourism. When Khaleej Times reported in 2022 that the Satguru Group had acquired it, the article credited Orient Tours with 40 years of experience; other trade sources date its start to Sharjah in 1982. Most of its work is with overseas tour operators and groups, which is why it has little consumer review volume.
For individual travellers, its safaris are sold on the Visit Dubai experiences shop, the booking site linked from Dubai's official tourism portal. The shop names the supplier as "Oasis Tours LLC SP", while the terms on the same pages refer to Orient Tours. We read this as the legal entity behind the brand but could not confirm it.

Prices as published by the operator on the Visit Dubai shop, checked November 2026. The evening listing says the tour itself takes 5 to 6 hours, plus 60 to 90 minutes of transfers; the morning tour takes 3.5 to 4 hours plus transfers. Both run from Orient's own camp, which the morning listing places at Al Awir. The six-guest limit per car is the normal standard; our timings and pickup guide explains how shared pickups work.
Rules to know
A booking needs at least two guests.
Children under five are not allowed.
Pregnant women and guests with heart, back or neck problems are not accepted on the shared drive.
Pickup is only from the hotels listed in the shop; a private car can collect from a home address.
During Ramadan and Islamic holidays there are no belly or Tanoura dances and no alcohol.
Seats in the 4x4 are not pre-allocated.
Families with small children should look at our family safety page first.
A warning about the old website
When we opened orienttours.ae in November 2026, it forwarded straight to another domain that showed an unrelated online-gambling page. This looks like an old forwarding link pointing at a domain that has changed hands. Do not type booking or card details on anything reached that way. The Visit Dubai experiences shop is the safe public route we found.
Who it suits
Orient Tours suits travellers who value an established company, a fixed camp and a small group per car over price. It is not the cheapest option, and its quad is a short add-on. If you want instant booking with thousands of reviews, compare evening safaris and morning safaris on Headout and GetYourGuide.
