Camel Rides in the Dubai Desert: What to Expect
17 August 2026 · 4 min read
A short camel ride is part of nearly every camp visit.
The short version
A short camel ride is part of nearly every camp visit.
Rides usually last five to ten minutes around the camp perimeter. It is the detail most guests tell us they wish they had known before arriving, and it shapes how the rest of the day is planned.
Practical details
Mounting and dismounting is the wobbly part; hold the front pommel firmly.
Prices across our desert safari range are quoted per person in UAE dirhams and include hotel transfers wherever stated on the tour page. Booking a few days ahead almost always secures a better slot than walking up on the day.
Tips that make a difference
Look for camps that rotate animals and provide shaded rest areas.
Our guides run this route several times a week, so if your dates, group size or mobility needs are unusual, message us before booking and we will suggest the version of the experience that fits.
