I loved everything. It was an amazing family adventure. Our tour guide Sadeem was so paitient with us when we were late, and the agency was gracious enough to accomodate picking us up from another location than earlier stated. We enjoyed visisting the beautiful desert for the first time and all the activities that came with it. Our guide encouraged us to do the activities that we were hesitant to do saying, "This is once in a lifetime experience you must have when you visit the dessert." The quad bike ride was fun, and exciting. I was apprehensive at first, but with time I got the hang of it. The dune ride was exhilerating and the highlight of the day was the night time activities, the camel rides, the barbeque dinner and show. Also, it was nice to be dropped off apartment safely afterwards.

Our tour guide Najeeb really made the tour. He was friendly, kind and very funny. Experience was fantastic, didn't ride the camels as I don't agree with using animals for money but everything else was fab and highly recommended.

We had the best safari experience with Mohamed Fawzi! He is truly the best driver, guide, and photographer all in one. His driving skills made the desert ride both thrilling and safe, his knowledge and guidance made the trip unforgettable, and his photography skills captured every moment perfectly. Highly recommend him if you want the ultimate Dubai safari experience!

Our desert safari in Dubai was an unforgettable highlight of our trip, and it was all thanks to Yasir. He made the entire experience thrilling and enjoyable, from the exciting dune bashing to the adventurous sand boarding and the serene camel ride. Yasir was incredibly cooperative, attentive, and ensured we were comfortable at every step. He also captured our moments with amazing photos that looked like they were taken by a professional. Yasir truly made this experience special, and I would highly recommend booking with him for anyone visiting Dubai.

Top things to do in Dubai

A trip to Dubai is complete with an authentic, Bedouin-style desert exploration. And what better way to do that than on the back of a camel, the ship of the desert? Camel riding is a sensory immersion into ancient traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and a chance to trade cityscapes for wind-whipped dunes.

Things to know before Camel Riding

Camel Riding in Dubai
  • Duration:
    Camel riding is a part of all Dubai desert safari packages and lasts a minute or two.
  • Seating:
    Camels usually accommodate two riders per seat, sitting sideways with a handler leading the animal.
  • Came riding ticket options: 
    Unlike other activities, Camel riding is short and part of most packages to connect visitors to the desert from the get-go. Although it is a short activity, there are different activities visitors can enjoy with these "ships" of the desert.
    Classic Camel Ride: This 1-2 minute journey is your standard desert safari inclusion. Relax, soak in the scenery, and feel the rhythm of the dunes beneath you.
    Camel Farm Visit: Go beyond the ride and visit a working camel farm! Learn about these fascinating creatures, see their routines, and even feed them. Add this as a pre-booked extra to your safari.
    Double the Dunes?: Craving more camel time? Many safaris allow a second ride, often with a break in between. Check your package or ask about add-on options!
    Standalone Camel Rides: Not planning a complete safari? You can book your camel ride session at the location with us!

What to expect while Camel riding

Picture a gentle sway, not a rollercoaster ride. You'll sit comfortably on a padded saddle, holding onto straps as your camel gracefully navigates the desert. It's serene, almost meditative, like rocking in a cradle of sand.
