Camel Rides

Camel Rides in Dubai – A Peaceful Journey Through the Dunes
Step into tradition and explore the desert the Emirati way.

Looking for a truly authentic way to experience the Dubai desert? Let’s be honest — nothing says desert adventure quite like riding a camel across golden dunes at sunrise or sunset. At Al Jiyad Stables, our camel rides offer more than just a photo opportunity — they’re a chance to step back in time, breathe deeply, and enjoy the desert at its own unhurried pace.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or planning a family-friendly activity away from the city buzz, our guided camel rides near Al Qudra are the perfect mix of culture, nature, and calm.

Why Choose a Camel Ride in Dubai?

There’s something magical about being gently rocked back and forth on a camel’s back, the only sound being the soft crunch of sand beneath its feet. Unlike horseback rides, camel rides are slower, higher, and more meditative — perfect for those who want to disconnect and take in the vast beauty of the desert.

And let’s face it: camels are iconic. For centuries, they’ve been the original "ships of the desert," helping Bedouins travel long distances across these very sands. So when you ride one, you’re not just exploring — you’re experiencing a deep part of Emirati heritage.

Our Camels – Calm, Well-Trained & Loved

Our camels aren’t just rideable — they’re part of the Al Jiyad family. They’re calm, used to interacting with guests, and trained to walk gently and confidently with riders of all ages. Each camel is handled with care, regularly checked by our on-site team, and always treated with the respect they deserve.

So don’t worry if you’ve never ridden one before — they’ve got this.

‍

When Is the Best Time for a Camel Ride?

We recommend booking your camel ride during sunrise or sunset. The temperature is cooler, the light is golden, and the desert is at its most peaceful. These time slots are also the most popular, so make sure to book ahead.

Rides are available 7 days a week, and we’re happy to customize the experience for couples, families, or private groups.
