Booking our desert adventure was very easy despite it being last minute. Customer service was also very helpful with our request. Our tour guide, Mohammad, took care of us very well. We went dune bashing with 2 kids and a senior and he took in mind our preference while making sure we enjoyed the experience. He was very encouraging for all of us to try sandboarding. We all had a blast! He put on music to set the mood in the car and took nice photos at the desert. Camp was clean, lovely food and entertainment. The photographers were too pushy though to sell us photos.

Desert Rollercoaster with Hassan! Hassan was an absolute legend behind the wheel! His dune driving was like a desert rollercoaster — fast, fun, and totally safe. We were laughing, cheering, and hanging on for dear life (in the best way)! If you want a wild ride and a great time, ask for Hassan. 100% recommended!

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.
