Dubai Camel Ride — The Real Deal

Dubai's Most Iconic Desert Experience, Done Properly

A camel ride in Dubai isn't just a tourist photo moment — it's a genuine slice of UAE culture that goes back thousands of years. Our camels are well-trained, regularly checked by a Dubai-licensed vet, and genuinely cared for by handlers who've grown up with them.

We don't do the 5-minute shuffle some operators offer. Our camel trek covers a real route through the dunes of Al Marmoom — 30 to 60 minutes of swaying through the sand with views that make even the most phone-obsessed traveller put the camera down and just look.

What Actually Happens on Your Dubai Camel Trek

Arrival — Meet your camel handler and get a quick intro to your ride. Each camel has a name. Yes, you'll remember it.

Mount Up — Our handlers help you get on safely. The mount is the wobbly bit — once you're up, it's smooth sailing. Lean back when they stand.

The Trek — A guided 30–60 minute route through proper desert terrain. Not a fenced track — actual Dubai dunes. Photo stops included.

At Camp — After the ride, relax at our desert camp with karak chai, dates and traditional Arabic coffee while the sunset does its thing.

Camel Questions — Answered

Is camel riding safe in Dubai?
Yes — our camels are Dubai Tourism licensed, regularly vetted and handled by professionals. You'll get a full safety briefing before mounting. Handlers walk alongside the entire time, especially for children.
What age can children do a camel ride in Dubai?
Children from 3 years old can do the camel ride with a parent or guardian. Kids under 3 can sit in a handler's arms for photos but don't do the full trek. It's one of Dubai's most family-friendly activities.
How long is the camel ride in Dubai?
Our standard camel trek is 30–60 minutes through the dunes of Al Marmoom. Longer private camel safari routes of 2–3 hours are available on request — ask when booking.
What do I wear for a camel ride in Dubai?
Comfortable, loose clothing — long trousers are more comfortable in the saddle than shorts. Closed shoes are better than sandals. Sun hat and sunscreen are a must in daylight hours.
Can I do a camel ride as a standalone activity in Dubai?
Yes — the camel ride can be booked as a standalone experience without a full safari package. It's also included in our Evening Safari, Morning Safari and the VIP Day packages.
Is camel riding available year-round in Dubai?
Every day, 365 days a year. Morning rides are recommended June–September due to Dubai's summer heat. Oct–May you can choose morning or late afternoon slots comfortably.
