| Camel Caravan |
| |
This tour, which is only offered in the winter month, will give you the experience of traveling in the former Bedouin times. Camels are said to be God's gift to the Bedouins. People in the early days used the camels either for trading or for transporting goods from one place to another. Journeys were always done in groups known as caravans. Camels endure the strong winds of the desert; therefore they are also named as the 'ships of the desert'. Their ability and strength to go far distances for a long time without food and water made these wonderful creatures so valuable and a part of the Arabic tradition. |

With a 4x4 car you will reach the Al Shamsi Bedouin Village, from where the camel caravan is departing. Board on the "ship of the desert" and enjoy an unique journey through the fascinating desert. From the top of the camel you will have wonderful views around. After a while the caravan will stop in the middle of the desert and the transported tea, coffee and small sweets will be served to you.
Afterwards you have the choice between riding back to the Desert Camp, where you can have a BBQ-Dinner, Belly dance and all other camp activities and afterwards you will be brought back by 4x4 to Dubai….or you stay with the camel caravan in the desert. If you decide for this version a tent will be built up for you in the desert and you can experience how the Bedouins prepare their dinner in the desert. After this traditional dinner you can listen to the old Bedouin stories and later sleep under the desert stars. In the morning a small breakfast will be served to you, before the camels are bringing you back to the Bedouin camp. After a refreshment the 4x4 cars bring you back to the city. |
