Many people associate Dubai with its bustling city vibe, vibrant nightlife, and impressive architecture in the form of tall buildings and luxury hotels. There is, however, another side of the city that is less known and less explored, which is equally exciting. The serene deserts of Dubai offer a unique experience away from modern city life.
So, if you are an avid traveler and want to explore Dubai’s natural beauty and rich history, then head down to the vast deserts surrounding the city. There is no better way to explore the deserts and experience the cultural side of Dubai than by riding camels on a Morning Desert Safari tour. Here is a brief guide explaining what happens on this tour and how to prepare for it.
Why is Camel Riding Must on a Dubai Desert Safari Adventure?
Camel rides are an integral part of the desert safari experience. They are known as the ships of the desert because of the ease with which they move across the sand.
The camel is the oldest mode of transportation in the desert. When you board these gentle creatures and begin your journey, you are carrying on the tradition of the Bedouins. It is possible to experience a camel ride on a desert safari in Dubai and many other exciting activities like dune bashing and quad biking.
While dune bashing involves a wild ride in a 4-wheel drive vehicle, camel riding involves a calm and gentle ride through the desert terrain. A contrasting experience such as this in a desert is something you will remember for a long time.

What a Camel Riding Experience Looks Like on Desert Safari?
Your adventure starts when the driver picks you up in a 4×4 and drives you to the desert. As you reach the destination, the first activity you will get to try is dune bashing, a thrilling activity that is sure to thrill you. After that, you will be taken to the traditional Bedouin camps where you can participate in thrilling activities like quad biking and sandboarding. Following this, you may try riding a camel.
Pay close attention to the instructions given by the guide when you are riding a camel. Enjoy the picturesque desert that lies ahead of you without any boundaries. Camels can be ridden at two different times – early morning and late evening- sunset. Either you can discover the vibrant colors of a sunset or watch the dawn break.
That’s why Dubai Morning Safari and Evening Safari tours are best for camel riding experience.
Upon returning from the ride, you can smoke hookah or paint henna tattoos. A delicious dinner buffet is included in the Evening Desert Safari Tour, and it is an Arabic breakfast during the morning safari. You will find a wide variety of continental and Arabic dishes and vegetarian and non-vegetarian options in both dining options.
There are also various entertainment programs included in the Evening safari such as, Tanoura dance, fire shows, and belly dancing.
Is Camel Riding a Safe Activity?
Camels are absolutely safe to ride, especially if you are on a desert safari. As part of their service, desert safari companies ensure their guests are safe throughout their journey. A guide will accompany you on the ride and handle the camel so you can ride safely without any issues.
Therefore, there is no need to worry. Enjoy your time. It is suitable for people of all ages. Take your children on a camel ride and show them how much fun it can be. Don’t miss out on this fascinating adventure for the entire family.
How Should You Dress for a Camel Ride?
As far as costume rules are concerned, there are none. During the trip, you may wear anything that is comfortable for you. We recommend that you wear full-sleeved clothes and long boots and take sunscreen lotion and a hat to protect your skin from harmful sun rays.
Conclusion
A camel ride is among the most popular activities on Dubai Desert Safari Tours. An opportunity like this is not missed for those interested in seeing and riding the creatures that accompanied the nomadic Arabs for centuries.
