When people visit Dubai, they always have a set list of things that needs to be seen or experienced. Seeing the Dubai Fountains, going up the Burj Khalifa, gazing at the Burj Al Arab and going on a desert safari are some of the highlights that everyone wishes to experience. Few people however realise that a desert safari can also be experienced on the back of a camel. A camel safari can be as simple as just riding a camel or made into an experience of a lifetime.
Riding a camel allows you to step back in time – a time without vehicles, a time without abundant noise, a time when simplicity was a way of life and not a choice. It allows you the opportunity to experience the desert and the emptiness the way it was perceived before modernization, silent and untouched. Our resident 80 year old Bedouin often reminisces about riding a camel and says it is the thing he misses most from life before the modernisation of Dubai.
