Camel Ride

Ride The Dubai Desert

Seriously, have you ever pictured yourself crossing golden dunes on a gentle camel, feeling that famous desert sway, with the sun painting the sky in fiery oranges and soft pinks? A camel ride in the UAE makes that dream come true - especially when combined with our desert safari tours in Dubai. Many tours include large herds of calm, specially trained camels, sometimes numbering 100+. It’s the safest, most comfortable way to experience a classic Arabian tradition. And when you go with Captain Dunes, your ride is smooth, full of fun facts, and totally stress-free!

• Catch the sunrise or sunset, light up the sand. The views are instantly picture-perfect at every turn.
• Get the inside scoop on camel behaviour and desert life from our friendly, knowledgeable guides.
