Fantastic experience! Riding a camel was lots of fun and easier than I thought. I shared a ride with my son, and it was lovely and super fun. I took loads of beautiful photos and selfies. Seeing the red desert dunes that are constantly changing shape was stunning. Entertaining and recommended for anyone visiting Dubai!
Awesome day! Special thanks to our guide, Mr Abdul! He picked us up from our hotel and kept us entertained and refreshed throughout our trip. We learned many exciting things about camels, so we were prepared when we arrived in the desert. Riding a camel is a unique experience. It took me a few minutes to get comfortable, but eventually, I relaxed, and the whole experience was worth every single penny!

How to ride a camel
Camel riding is an essential part of any desert safari and a popular activity in Dubai. Here are some tips to make your experience enjoyable and comfortable:
- Getting on the camel: Your guide will help you get on the camel. Use your strength to lift one leg over the camel.
- Balancing: Lean back as the camel stands on its back leg. When the camel straightens its front legs, lean forward.
- Hold firmly: Grip the saddle handle securely when going up or down the dunes.
- Positioning: Sit with your legs crossed on the saddle for comfort, but switch back to the standard riding position if the camel kneels to sit down.
- Relaxing: Avoid holding on rigidly, and move with the camel’s rhythm to prevent stiffness.
- Be patient: Avoid sudden movements and wait for the camel to sit before getting off.
Follow your guide's instructions, stay relaxed, and enjoy your camel ride in Dubai desert!
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- Dressing appropriately for camel riding is important. Choose comfortable clothing and wear long pants, a scarf, or a bandana to shield yourself from the sun and dust. Durable, closed-toe shoes are recommended for stability.
- Keep in mind that camels move at a slow and peaceful pace. They can also be quite stubborn but don't worry. Accept them as they are and enjoy the ride. Your guide will be there to assist you if needed.
- Camels are typically gentle and calm animals, providing a safe and enjoyable riding experience. For your safety, carefully listen to the guidelines and follow your guide's instructions on how to get on and off the camel and handle its behavior.
