About Us

The First of Its Kind

We established the Arabian Desert Camel Riding Centre (ADCRC) in January 2021 with a clear purpose: to create a space where people and camels can truly meet.

Despite the camel’s prominence in the UAE, there was previously no official place for the public to learn about these animals or train in the discipline of riding. We built this center to bridge that gap.

We invite the curious, the nervous, and the ambitious. We welcome the jockeys, the explorers, the young, and the old. Come discover the reality of these animals with us, and help us reshape the perceptions surrounding camel riding.

5 Principles We Go By

Everything we do is guided by a clear set of values. They shape how we care for our camels, how we explore the landscape, and how we create meaningful experiences for our riders. These principles sit at the heart of our camel riding school and inform every decision we make, ensuring each journey is respectful, enriching, and deeply connected to place.

Camels and the Environment

Camel welfare comes first. Most of our camels are retired race camels, now living active, cared-for lives through our riding school. Their wellbeing is always our priority, and we treat every camel with kindness, patience, and respect.

We also believe in education, sustainability, and raising awareness of responsible camel care and environmental practices.

Your dreams are our dreams

Our school was built from a dream, and we honour the dreams our riders bring with them.

Through tailored classes and programs, we support each rider’s individual goals. Every ride is designed to build confidence, spark excitement, and encourage personal growth.

Discovery and Exploration

Every journey is an opportunity to discover something new.

We encourage curiosity, learning, and exploration, inviting riders to engage with local landscapes and communities with an open mind. Our experiences are designed to deepen appreciation for the world around us.

Slow Travel

We believe in moving slowly and intentionally.

Our rides invite riders to disconnect from daily life, immerse themselves in the present moment, and experience the landscape at a more mindful pace. It’s about the journey, not the rush.

Companionship

Connection is central to everything we do.

We foster a supportive, inclusive environment where riders, guides, and camels move together in trust. Shared experiences create meaningful bonds and lasting memories.
