How about a smashing 30-minute to 3-hour camel ride in Dubai through the deserts? While you are in Dubai, riding on camelback is perhaps the most majestic way to travel through the rolling sand dunes.

If you prefer to see your four-legged friends in action from afar, then you can enjoy seeing them either in racing action or being put through their training strides at Al Marmoom Racetrack.

Padded Soles: The soles of a camel’s foot are covered in thick layers of calloused, padded skin. This helps to cushion the foot against the rough, rocky ground and provides additional stability.
