Camel Rides Guide

Dubai, the Las Vegas of the middle east is one of the most luxurious cities in the modern world acting as the playground of the rich. Dubai has everything from offering a perfect family getaway to an ideal spot for a boisterous bachelor party, a romantic honeymoon with your love, or a bit of me-time to discover and bond with yourself. While the brightly lit and ever-so-happening city keeps your spirit upbeat and high, there is nothing like the calm rush that your soul will find through Dubai Desert Safari.
One of the many popular activities on a desert safari is a camel ride. Embark on the ship of the desert and experience the Arabian sand dunes as the ancient Bedouins once did during a quintessential safari with a camel ride in Dubai.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss a Camel Ride in Dubai

Simply magical with its hypnotic colors and shapes the Dubai deserts have so much to offer. If you visit Dubai and skip a trip to the beautiful deserts, it would be a tragic waste. 
Nothing gives you a more authentic experience of exploring the deserts of Dubai than exploring it on the back of a camel in the traditional clothing of the nomadic Bedouin men and women. This is your chance to live and experience the famous tales of “Arabian Nights” from your childhood. The camel safari experience varies in its charm depending upon the time of the day.

Top Recommendation

Camel Trek in the Morning

While the desert in the evening is charming, the experience is downright therapeutic in the morning.

Why Camel Caravans are a Crowd-Favorite

The ethereal view of camel trains trekking through the red and golden sand of the Dubai desert offers an experience of a lifetime. You cannot picture Mediterranean culture without camel caravans. The desert safari simply completes the Dubai experience. While the city of Dubai is encrusted with glittering skyscrapers, that is not the traditional and authentic Arab experience.
Outside the city, here in the desert, you can enjoy so many activities including sandboarding, dune bashing, a sheesha facility, henna tattoos, BBQ, and more, once your camel ride in Dubai ends - elevating the overall desert experience.
