Included Activities

Camel Riding

When riding a camel, it is important to mount from the left side and maintain your balance as the camel stands up by leaning backward first and then forward. Relax your body and move naturally with the camel's walking rhythm. To prevent chafing, always wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes. For safety, avoid sudden movements, do not carry loose items in your hands, and guide the camel gently using the nose rein.
