Overview

The Camel Ride is the desert at its most timeless — a calm, scenic trek across the dunes atop the 'ship of the desert'. Led by experienced handlers, it's a gentle experience suitable for all ages and a wonderful way to connect with the Bedouin heritage of the Emirates.

With soft light, sweeping dunes and unhurried pacing, it's one of the most photogenic things you can do in the desert. Enjoy it on its own or as a serene counterpoint to a dune-bashing safari.
