We had a great time at Dubai Miracle Garden. The floral arrangements are beautiful and very creative, especially the big displays and walkways. Everything felt organized and family-friendly, and there were plenty of places to stop for photos. Headout tickets worked perfectly and the entry process was super easy.

Buying skip-the-line tickets is very convenient, as it avoids waiting in line at the ticket office on site. The Miracle Garden is truly a magnificent garden! We loved it. It's a beautiful walk among these floral sculptures!

Unforgettable Desert Safari Experience!
Our desert safari ride was absolutely amazing, and a huge credit goes to our guide kudrat made the entire experience exceptional. From the moment we started, he was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The dune bashing was thrilling yet safe, and his driving skills were truly impressive.
He explained everything clearly, made us feel comfortable, and ensured everyone was enjoying the ride. The sunset views, photo stops, and overall desert atmosphere were breathtaking. His positive attitude and attention to detail turned this safari into a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exciting, safe, and unforgettable desert safari. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

Our Driver and guide Yasir was awesome. He is a guy to whom you can interact and he is very friendly. He is an amazing photographer who knows how to take family pics.Car was clean and safari was good. Only let down point was camp food and performances. May be as it was not my first time to camp and compared to previous camp experiences this one was not good at all.
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
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.
Know before you go Camel Riding in Dubai
Is Camel riding safe in Dubai? Yes, camel riding in Dubai can be a safe and enjoyable experience with proper precautions. Like any activity, it involves inherent risks, but with awareness and responsible behavior, you can minimize them and have a fantastic time.
Follow safety instructions: Listen to your guide's instructions regarding mounting, dismounting, and camel behavior.
Dress appropriately: Wear comfortable clothing that covers your arms and legs to protect against sunburn and scratches. Sturdy shoes are essential for stability.
Hold tight: Firmly grip the provided handle or saddle during steep inclines or descents.
Be mindful of your belongings: Keep your valuables secure in a backpack or camera bag, as jostling can happen.
Don't rush: Take time to mount and dismount the camel and avoid sudden movements.
Respect the camels: Don't pull or hit them; they are sensitive creatures.
Stay hydrated: Dubai's desert sun can be intense, so drink plenty of water before and during your ride.
Inform your guide: If you have any medical conditions or concerns, inform your guide beforehand.
Pregnant women and young children: Consult with your doctor before considering camel riding if you are pregnant or have young children.
Camel riding is included in all Dubai desert safari packages. The activity lasts a couple of minutes, during which the visitors can take a stroll in the desert and get pictures.
Mornings and evenings both offer a different experience during desert safaris. Equally enthusiastic and equally breathtaking. You can go on a camel ride in the morning or the evening.
Morning: Since the morning desert safari starts early, visitors need not be concerned about the scorching sun. You will mostly complete your safari before the sun reaches its peak.
Evening: Evening offers a mesmerizing backdrop of a setting sun and golden dunes. This view of a calm desert as you hop on a camel.
Loose, comfortable clothing that covers your knees and shoulders is ideal. Closed-toe shoes are mandatory for safety. Sunglasses and a hat are recommended.
Opt for a light breakfast or pre-dinner snack. Avoid heavy meals before your ride.
Respect the camels, and avoid loud noises or sudden movements.
