Dubai is currently one of the best and most modern cities in the world. However, this was not the case a few centuries ago or even decades ago. There used to be a vast desert where people traveled on camels, lived in camps, and enjoyed a nomadic lifestyle. Even today, after all the modernization, the locals still haven’t forgotten their roots.
As a visitor, you can enjoy these cultural and traditional experiences in the form of Dubai Desert Safari Tours. The camel riding activity is one of the most popular activities on these tours that represents the conventional lifestyle of Bedouins. For any tourist who visits Dubai, riding a camel is a must-do activity on Morning Desert Safari tours, so be sure to add it to your list of itineraries.
Here are five reasons to convince you to try this exciting experience. Let’s get started.
The Importance of Camels in Dubai Culture
Camels have been an integral part of Arabic culture for centuries. Camels, also known as the ‘ship of the desert,’ can travel long distances without drinking or eating. For this reason, this animal was a preferred mode of transportation in the Arabian Desert in the past.
Consequently, a camel ride is an excellent way to learn about the life and culture of the traditional Arabs. The Desert Safari tour in Dubai includes a camel ride to give you a sense of what it was like for the Bedouin and their nomadic lifestyle. This is why you must add the Desert Safari Dubai Tour To Your Bucket List of activities.
Taking a ride on a camel allows you to experience the vast expanse of the sky and sand as it strolls across the desert and allows you to relax.
5 Main Benefits of Going on a Camel Riding Tour in Dubai
Here are four benefits you can expect when hopping on a camel and taking it for a stroll across the desert:
Enjoy a Unique and Exciting Experience
A camel ride is remarkably different from the 4WD Land Cruiser dune bashing ride that takes you into the desert as part of the first part of the Desert Safari Tour. The first advantage of riding on the back of a camel is that you are perched at a very high level. There is no restriction on who can ride a camel. This ride is equally enjoyable for children as well as adults.
Check out the Beautiful Desert Sights
As you go on a slow-paced ride across the dunes and enjoy the beautiful desert scenery, you will forget about all your life worries for a while. A desert landscape with its accompanying fauna and flora offers an entirely different and exciting experience.
Contrary to expectations, you may be surprised to see Arabian oryxes and gazelles roaming the desert sands. Deserts and oases are home to unique vegetation that is sure to leave an indelible impression on your mind. Remember to pack your camera or use a smartphone to capture these sights.
Talking about the sights, don’t miss the sunset and sunrise views on the desert safari tour in Dubai. Take your camel to an ideal spot in the desert to enjoy the best views.
Relaxing and Peaceful Experience
Suppose you are not that much into adventure activities included on a desert safari, such as dune bashing and quad biking. In that case, you can go on camel rides that are often relaxing and peaceful and without any adrenaline rush. A camel ride allows you to enjoy the serene desert environment and allow you to explore the desert at your own pace and take pictures of the beautiful desert landscape.
Family-Friendly Activity
Camel rides are completely safe for everyone, even kids. You can go with your family and kids to explore deserts, create some new and refreshing memories on safari tours, and spend quality time together.
Expert Guides Available
The camel riding tours on desert safaris are done under expert guides who stay alongside you and handle the camel in case it gets out of control and also to ensure your safety. Also, these guides know about the best desert spots that are worth visiting while sitting on a camel.
Conclusion
If you are going on a desert safari tour in Dubai with your family, then we highly recommend that you try the camel rides. They are fun, exciting and completely safe forms of adventure for everyone. Further, there are tour guides available to assist and ensure your well-being.
Camel rides are best enjoyed in Morning Desert Safari when the temperatures are low, and the sun continues to rise, casting a golden hue over the sands, thus creating a magical moment.
