Dubai Camel Caravan and Bedouin Breakfast at Al Marmoom Oasis
Ride a camel across wind-sculpted dunes, sip gahwa beside a restored well and join a Bedouin breakfast at Al Marmoom Oasis. This half-day tour pairs gentle desert travel with cultural, hands-on moments.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water—desert heat and sun exposure increase fluid needs even on a short ride.
Dress modestly and sun-safe
Light, breathable long sleeves and a wide-brim hat protect from sun and meet cultural expectations at the village.
Wear stable footwear
Choose closed-toe shoes with grip for walking on soft sand and around animal areas at the village.
Secure valuables
Leave expensive items at the hotel; sand and crowds at photo stops increase the chance of loss.
