What is Camel Riding in Dubai?

Camel Rides in Dubai is an experience that comes as a part of most of your Dubai Desert Safari tickets. You can hop on the backs of camels and enjoy a tranquil ride in the desert.

Is camel riding included in my safari package?

Most standard safaris offer short camel rides through the desert camp. Premium packages might include longer rides or scenic sunset excursions. Check your specific package details.

Can I book camel riding separately?

If your ticket doesn’t include camel riding, you can still enjoy the activity on the location for an additional amount.

How much does camel riding cost?

Prices vary depending on the duration and any included extras like photos or refreshments. Expect to pay around AED 50 for a short camp ride to AED 200+ for a longer desert excursion.

Is camel riding safe?

Camel riding is generally safe, especially on flat terrain. Experienced handlers guide the camels, and you'll receive instructions on mounting and dismounting safely.

What should I wear for camel riding?

Wear comfortable clothing that covers your arms and legs. Long pants and closed-toe shoes are recommended. Avoid loose scarves or flowing garments tangled in the camel's harness.

What can I expect during the camel riding experience?

Enjoy the gentle sway of the camel as you traverse the desert, taking in the vast landscapes and unique perspective of being atop this majestic creature. Some rides might offer opportunities for photos or interaction with the camels.

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 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.
