Back in time to the Bedouin era of the 20s, when the camel was the only means of locomotion.

During this very exclusive activity, relive the life of the Bedouins and enjoy a camel ride in the heart of the protected Dubai Red Desert reserve belonging to the royal family.

This ride takes place in the afternoon, and is followed by a traditional Bedouin meal served in a camp nestled in the dunes.

Dropped off in a 4X4 in the desert, your camel will be waiting for you for an initial 45-minute ride, followed by a break during which you will observe a hawk hunting and be served a refreshing drink. Following this break, you'll be driven in a vintage Land Rover to the place where you'll have dinner. A few minutes' drive around the dunes to reach your destination.

In the evening, the activity will be rounded off with Emirati song and dance.
As a souvenir, you can leave with a henna tattoo included in your activity.
