The camel trail follows gentle, accessible paths, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful, natural encounter with animals and the environment.

The experience Guests begin with a welcome and safety briefing at the farm. You’ll mount a calm, well-trained camel for a 35-minute ride at a relaxed pace, feeling the animal’s natural gait and hearing its soft sounds alongside the natural surroundings. After the ride, you’ll take part in family-oriented activities such as feeding and brushing the camels, exploring the texture of their thick fur under the supervision of trained monitors.
