About this experience

After the engines, a camel ride feels like turning the volume down. You sit high, the camel walks slowly, and the desert looks different when you are not moving fast.

Your handler walks beside you for the whole 20 minutes. You get a short briefing on how to sit and hold on, help getting on and off, and a stop on a good dune for photos.

It is AED 150 per person. It works as a quiet add-on to a buggy or quad ride, as a relaxed activity for grandparents and young children, or as the main event for anyone who wants the old way of seeing the desert.
