Case Study: Desert Adventures achieves 30% cost savings and scalable growth with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Desert Adventures conquers scalability, saves money with Oracle Cloud

Desert Adventures, a Dubai‑based destination management company serving travelers across the UAE, Oman, and Jordan, needed to modernize after standardizing on the TravelBox tourism‑management application. Its on‑premises installation struggled with growing transaction volumes, manual processes, stability and security concerns, and limited ability to win large customers.

The company migrated TravelBox to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure—leveraging existing Oracle database relationships and local references—which enabled a smooth 3–4 month cutover and shutdown of its data center. The move delivered about 30% cost savings versus on‑premises and 20–30% savings compared with AWS while adding needed capabilities, improved scalability and compliance (including GDPR), reduced IT maintenance and disaster‑recovery burdens, and is projected to generate roughly $1 million in benefit over two years.
