Join us for a camel ride across the Dubai desert and walk in the footsteps of many generations before you, learning about the critical role that the camel plays in the country’s cultural landscape.
Camel riding is probably the most popular tourist activity in Dubai. Paired with an exciting desert safari tour, tourists all want to experience how it’s like to ride a camel in the Arabian desert.
This is a 225 square kilometer (87.1 square miles) natural reserve which limits the number of tour operators who are permitted to organize trips here. This means that with minimal impact on the environment you can see what the region would have looked like centuries ago.
The best camel riding locations are easily accessible from Dubai’s city center. You can reach them through private vehicles or public transportation if your tour package doesn’t come with pick-up and drop-off services. Here’s a guide on how to reach your preferred desert destination:
Originating from the Arabic word meaning “a small bite that can be eaten in a single mouthful”, these small delectable Arabic style donuts are drizzled with date syrup.
You must carry proof of class completion while riding on public lands. (this applies to both OR and out of state course completion).
Good morning,My husband and I are returning from an 8-day tour in Egypt.We hesitated between 2 local agencies, and it was finally towards Base Trips (recommended on the backpacker's blog) that we left. Amro, the director of the agency, is the ideal contact to very easily organize a tailor-made trip to Egypt. And we were not disappointed, our individual tour went perfectly. Being picked up by the agency as soon as we got off the plane allowed us to save a lot of time obtaining the visa and going through customs. We are immediately put at ease by Amro’s friendliness and desire to do well. The stay will be just perfect: From Cairo to Abu Simbel, we fell under the spell of the Nile: dozens of temples in an incredible state of conservation, the great thrill when we are alone visiting a tomb discovered a few weeks before (Indiana atmosphere Jones!), the discovery of the pyramids on the back of a camel (also the best way to take the most beautiful photos of the pyramids), the incredible beauty of the tombs of the Valley of the Kings (wow guaranteed!), The little-known but superb Valley of the queens that we were the only ones to visit, the temple of Luxor at night (magical), The “Agatha Christian” charm of Dubai safari experience the cruise on the Nile (I know, it’s not said but I couldn’t find a better term) , without forgetting the fabulous temple of Abu Simbel (wow too!
There are several staging areas, lots of parking, many access points and various campgrounds throughout the dunes.
This safari tour in Dubai is radically different from the others. First of all, you’ll notice that your vehicle is a vintage, open-air 1950’s Land Rover rather than a modern 4X4.
Enhance the experience even more with a spectacular sunrise hot air balloon flight the next morning. The overnight Bedouin camp is located only 15 minutes away from the hot air balloon take-off site.
The French-speaking guides were all Egyptologists, they were able to be fascinating throughout the stay and create a close relationship with our family group.The choice of lunches was perfect and allowed us to discover the refined local cuisine.The organization of activities such as a hot air balloon flight and cycling in the Valley of the Kings was perfect.We recommend Terra Trips without reservation.A big thank you to Amro for his competence and kindness.The Royal family

As you can imagine, this is the best desert safari in Dubai for those who possess an eagle eye of their own! However, your qualified guide will do his/her best to help you detect the wildlife.
