What Is a Camel Ride?

A camel ride is one of the most authentic ways to experience the desert. Known as the “ships of the desert,” camels were once the main transport for Bedouins traveling across the Arabian sands. Today, we offer guests the chance to enjoy this timeless tradition in a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable way.

When you ride with Desert Delight Tourism, our team guides you every step of the way. From helping you mount to leading your camel across the dunes, we ensure the experience is both adventurous and accessible, even if it’s your first time.
