Your camel carries you to dinner
The camel is not a stop on a tour here. It is how you arrive at your own private majlis, across the dunes, as the light turns gold.
What is premium camel trekking in Abu Dhabi?
Premium camel trekking in Abu Dhabi is an exclusive private experience where a camel carries you to your own Sunset Dune Majlis in the desert for a candlelit dinner and bonfire. After a camel farm visit and a dune drive to a private meeting point, you ride your camel to a majlis that a second Land Cruiser has set up ahead of you. It is designed for couples, from 2290 AED per couple.
It takes the simple magic of a desert camel ride and turns it into the centrepiece of a private evening. If you want the camel to be a memory rather than a five-minute stop, and your dinner to be yours alone, this is the one.
