What To Expect

Start your desert excursion with a mid-afternoon pickup at your hotel in Ras Al Khaimah, and enjoy the views as you travel into the desert to the camel base.

On arrival, listen to a safety briefing, and climb on to your camel. Then, settle into the rolling stride as you set off along dusty tracks with a Bedouin guide leading the way.

Plod across dunes and rugged terrain, and identify interesting desert flora on route with help from your guide. Plus, keep watch for indigenous wildlife such as desert foxes and gerbils — the latter sometimes likened to miniature kangaroos for their leaping motion.

Along the way, make two stops to admire the desert sunset. Quench your thirst with sodas and mineral water, and take photos of the orange sun as it starts to sink below the sands.

After a roughly 45-minute ride, dismount and head to a nearby Bedouin-style camp nestled in a desert oasis. Drink in the beautiful surroundings as twilight takes hold, and savor a delicious barbecue buffet dinner served with sodas and water. Alcoholic drinks are available to purchase (own expense).

As you relax and enjoy the magical desert setting, try puffing on an optional shisha (Arabic water pipe) and enjoy the live entertainment of traditional Arabic dancing and music. Watch a hypnotic, whirling dervish-style tanoura show, together with an exciting fire dance and belly dancing displays.

Clap along to the music and soak up the romantic atmosphere as darkness falls over the dunes. Then, when it’s time, drive back to Ras Al Khaimah where your experience ends with a hotel drop-off.

Fun in Al Wadi Desert

Mitchell_G, Jan 2025
Overall very good experience but condition and presentation of the camp wasn’t as nice as another one I experienced, and food was OK.

Best experience we have ever had together

Alan_B, Oct 2024
When we booked the trip we thought that we might be with a large group but as luck would have it there was just the two of us and Amir the camel guide. Amir made the experience feel so authentic, he really seemed to care about the camels especially as there was also a lot of quad bikes around but Amir made sure that they stayed away from his camels and kept them calm. We ended up in the middle of a desert on our own (with Amir and the camels) he kept taking pictures and videos of us all the way on our phones so the memories we have are really good. We would really recommend this trip as for us it was really quite special.

Great way to experience the desert

PaoloFrancesco_F, Nov 2023
Great trip and a stunning way to see the desert in all its beauty. Very friendly team, a little pushy on sales but I understand the need to upsell. Dinner was good but entertainment just needs a little bit more ‘wow’. I’d go back for the camel ride again though.

Great outing

yvette_c, Nov 2023
Definitely recommend the 45 minute camel trek Loved it Staff very friendly You arrive an hour early when lots of extras are offered to you We did opt in for the dune buggy (extra cost of course) and it was great fun Could really do without that time Show didn’t finish until 7.50pm So from pickup at 230 to drop off 830 it’s much longer than stated

Camel ride

Sheilacowan, Feb 2020
Camel ride was good and not to long as it's a bit uncomfortable. Event itself is a bit long, and food was pretty basic. Transfer to event was fine

1.75 h ride on camel is really hard...

wschiro, Dec 2017
1.75 h ride on camel is really hard. For us it was to long. The dinner and the shows are very amazing. The photo service is very expensive, we didnt use it.

Fantastic tour with an amazing 1 1/2...

Louise M, Nov 2017
Fantastic tour with an amazing 1 1/2 hr camel ride in the desert at sunset. This was followed by fab entertainment and food. Thoroughly enjoyed and would thoroughly recommend it.
