Full description
A ride on an Arabian camel is an unforgettable introduction of desert life and Bedouin culture. Our Camel Ride experience offers an incredible morning with one of Arabia’s greatest companions, complete with wildlife spotting and a tranquil lakeside stop.
Your experience will begin with pick-up from your hotel or residence in Dubai and a drive to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve (DDCR) in an air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle.
Here, you will first meet the majestic Arabian camel that will transport you across the desert on a breathtaking journey through the DDCR’s beautiful rolling dunes.
Led by an expert camel shepherd at a calm, steady pace, you’ll have plenty of time to spot the fascinating wildlife that inhabits the desert while capturing plenty of Instagram-worthy photo opportunities.
After a picturesque 45-minute ride, you’ll reach our designated breakfast spot. At this peaceful location, you’ll enjoy delightful views of the sun glistening over the desert.
After breakfast, you have the option of either taking the return 45-minute camel ride back through the desert or be collected from your breakfast stop and driven back to your hotel or residence.
