Camel caravan crossing the red dunes near Dubai at golden hour

Rider's point of view while riding a camel across the Dubai desert

Camel Ride Dubai

Camel Ride in Desert

20-25 minutes Per person, guided Bedouin handler Al Awir Desert, Dubai

A camel ride in the Dubai desert costs a per-person rate that we confirm on WhatsApp, since availability shifts the price day to day — message us and we'll tell you today's figure right away. This standalone ride runs 20 to 25 minutes across the red dunes near Al Awir, led on foot by a Bedouin handler so you can simply sit back and take in the view. No experience or special fitness is needed, and it suits solo travelers, couples and families alike.

If you're already booked on our Morning or Evening Desert Safari, a shorter camel ride is included in those packages at no extra charge. This page is for guests who want the camel experience on its own — a longer, unhurried ride with time to enjoy the dunes and grab plenty of photos.

Questions About This Ride

How much does a camel ride cost in the Dubai desert?

The camel ride is priced per person and rates can vary with availability, so message us on WhatsApp and we'll confirm today's price straight away. If you're already booked on the Morning or Evening Desert Safari, a short camel ride is included in those packages at no extra cost.

How long does the camel ride last?

This standalone camel ride runs 20 to 25 minutes per person, guided the whole way by a Bedouin handler on foot. It's a relaxed pace built for photos and enjoying the dunes rather than a race.

Can children ride the camel too?

Children can usually join seated together with an adult on the same camel. Ask us about age suitability for your children when you book so we can set up the right arrangement for your family.

Do I need any experience to ride a camel?

No experience is needed at all. Your handler leads the camel by a rope the entire time, helps you mount and dismount safely, and walks alongside you for the full ride.

What is the difference between this camel ride and the one on the desert safari?

The Morning and Evening Desert Safaris already include a short camel ride as part of the wider itinerary alongside dune bashing, meals and other activities. This standalone booking is for guests who just want the camel experience on its own, with a longer 20-25 minute ride and no other activities attached.

What should I wear for a desert camel ride?

Light, comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes work well, along with sunglasses and sunscreen since you're out in open desert light. Loose trousers are more comfortable than shorts for sitting in the saddle.
