Social Rides
Bring people together through shared camel riding experiences in the desert, combining relaxed camel rides with time to gather, connect, and share a traditional meal. Designed for meaningful moments, social rides are ideal for small groups, families, visiting guests, and those looking to experience the desert at a slower pace. Rooted in culture, companionship, and slow travel, these experiences create space for conversation, connection, and memories that last well beyond the desert.
Desert Ride - Saif Al Arab, Dubai
Our Desert Rides are designed for those who wish to experience the quiet beauty of the dunes, connect with nature, and share an unhurried moment with these remarkable animals. This is not about speed or performance—it is about presence, rhythm, and simplicity.
The pace is slow and grounding, allowing time to listen to the silence of the dunes and settle into the movement. A peaceful stop for water and tea offers a moment to pause, reflect, and simply be, before returning to the starting point.
More experienced riders may lead their camel independently, enjoying a deeper sense of trust, confidence, and connection as you move together through the desert landscape.
This experience is ideal for anyone seeking calm, clarity, and a genuine desert connection—whether it’s your first time with camels or a continuation of your riding journey.
What to expect:
- A calm introduction to camels at the desert edge
- A guided or independent walk into the dunes, at an unhurried pace
- Time to absorb the silence and natural rhythm of the desert
- A relaxed tea and water break in the dunes
These desert rides are ideal for:
- Individuals seeking a peaceful, grounding desert experience
- First-time camel riders looking for a gentle introduction
- Experienced riders wanting a calm, mindful ride
- Small groups, friends, or couples looking to share a quiet moment in nature
Ramadan 2026: Iftar Rides
During Ramadan, ADCRC invites you to slow down and reconnect. The holy month is experienced through community, tradition, and shared moments in the desert.
Set in Al Marmoom, our Ramadan experiences bring people together around camels, conversation, and shared meals. As a result, time feels calmer and more intentional, far from the pace of the city.
First, guests enjoy a peaceful sunset camel ride on the track. Then, the evening continues with an authentic Emirati iftar served in a relaxed setting. Afterwards, guests are invited to unwind with tea and conversation.
Not keen on riding? We have the perfect grounding workshop with camels set up for you.
Reach out to curate the perfect experience for you and your group.

Camels and Coffee
Saddle Up. Sip Slow. Ride Differently.
The most unique way to go grab coffee.
Join us for a laid-back, unforgettable experience where camels meet coffee in the heart of the desert. The “Ride to the Coffee Shop” is a scenic guided camel ride that takes you from the training grounds of ADCRC through the farms across the Saih Al Salam Road, ending at a charming local-café for a well-earned coffee break.
This ride covers a longer distance and requires some prior camel riding experience or training—making it an ideal next step after a few foundation classes. With a clear destination and purpose, this ride offers a sense of progress and adventure, combining skill-building with scenic relaxation.
Highlights:
Ride with intention: improve posture, rhythm, and control
Arrive at a cozy café station for a relaxing break
Photo time, conversations, and Al Marmoom vibes before the return
