Frequently Asked Questions

Is camel riding suitable for children and what are the age restrictions?

Yes, camel riding is very suitable for children and is a popular family activity. For age considerations: children 3 years and older can ride their own camel with parental supervision and guide assistance. Younger children (under 3) can typically ride with a parent on the same camel. The camels are gentle, well-trained, and accustomed to children. Our guides provide special attention to families and ensure extra safety measures for younger riders. The pace is slow and gentle, making it comfortable for all ages. We recommend informing us of children's ages when booking so we can prepare appropriately sized camels and equipment. This is an excellent first camel experience for children due to the shorter duration and calm setting.

What should I wear and bring for the camel ride experience?

For the camel ride in Palmeraie, comfortable, practical clothing is recommended. Long pants are ideal to prevent chafing from the saddle. Closed-toe shoes are recommended for mounting/dismounting. Sun protection is important: hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Layers are useful as temperatures can vary - light jacket for morning rides. Camera or smartphone for photos (secure pocket or small bag recommended). Comfortable clothing that allows movement - avoid very tight or restrictive outfits. Small backpack or cross-body bag for personal items (left in vehicle during ride). We recommend against wearing skirts or dresses for comfort while riding. Modest clothing is appreciated in respect of local culture. The ride is gentle but can be bumpy, so comfort is key.

What are the available times for camel rides and how long is the experience?

We offer camel rides throughout the day with flexible scheduling. Morning sessions: typically 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM pickup. Afternoon sessions: typically 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM pickup. Sunset rides are also available (seasonal, approximately 1-2 hours before sunset). The total experience duration is 2-3 hours including transportation. This includes: 20-30 minutes each way for hotel transfer, approximately 1-2 hours of actual camel riding (depending on package chosen), and 15-20 minutes for mint tea ceremony. Shorter rides (30-45 minutes) available for families with young children or those with time constraints. We recommend morning or late afternoon rides during summer months to avoid the hottest part of the day. Booking in advance is recommended to secure your preferred time slot.
