Camel Trekking in Abu Dhabi

Camel trekking in Abu Dhabi gives you a longer, guided ride on camels than the short stop included in most desert safaris. You can choose a morning or evening slot for your trek in the desert outside the city, depending on which suits your schedule and the light you would rather ride in.

A vehicle sized to your group picks you up from your hotel or another location in Abu Dhabi and takes you to the desert camp, then returns you to the city after the trek. The same driver and vehicle handle both legs of the journey, so there is nothing to arrange in between.

Guided trek across the dunes

Once at the camp, you set off across the sand dunes by camel, following the same routes Bedouins once used to cross the desert. A guide leads the trek throughout, so you can take in the view without worrying about the way back or losing the group. Riding at a camel's pace gives you time to notice details in the dunes that a faster ride would pass by, from the shifting ridgelines to the quiet of the open desert.

Photos and refreshments

The desert's changing light, whether at sunrise or sunset, makes for one of the better photo opportunities on an Abu Dhabi itinerary, and the slower pace of a camel trek gives you more time to line up a shot than a passing 4X4 would. At the end of the trek, you can enjoy bottled water and soft drinks before the vehicle takes you back to the city.

Camel trekking pairs well with an Abu Dhabi city tour for a fuller look at the city's sights, or with an overnight desert safari Abu Dhabi and quad biking Abu Dhabi for more time in the dunes. Rayna Tours' own drivers and guides handle the trek from pickup to drop-off, and are reachable for support throughout.

For a more hands-on desert experience, you can also opt for an Overnight Desert Safari in Abu Dhabi or add extra excitement with Quad Biking Abu Dhabi across the dunes.<
