A desert camel ride in Dubai is one of the calmest ways to enjoy the sand dunes. There’s no engine noise and no rush. You sit high on the camel while a handler leads the way at a slow walking pace, so you can look around and take in the desert.
Before you start, the handler shows you how to get on and off. This part surprises most people, as the camel stands up back legs first. Hold on, lean back a little, and you’ll be fine.
Which camel ride should you choose?
Choose the short desert ride if you want a quick first try and some photos. Choose the 25-minute ride if you’d like to watch the sunset from the dunes. Choose the 1-hour trek if you want a longer ride, a tea break on the sand and stories about camels in Emirati life.
Is a camel ride good for kids?
Yes, many children love it. Young children ride with an adult on the same camel, and the slow pace makes it a gentle first desert experience for the whole family.
