- MonicaSpijkenisse, The Netherlands39 contributionsAmazing experience!Today we visited the camel farm. It was an amazing experience! The people running the place are very kind and the tour guide knows a lot about the animals. The camel ride was also fun! Worth the visit and not very expensive. Thanks to the entire team on behalf of my husband and I for an amazing experience!!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 October 2023
- Tristan D2 contributionsBrilliant experience and service!Had a wonderful experience at the Camel Farm. Whilst I was expecting something slightly bigger, the interaction with the animals as well the information from our guide, Oluchi, made it an unforgettable experience. We took the tour with feeding, which was supposed to last an hour and the time flew by. Oluchi was great at answering all our questions, telling us about the animals' stories, and it was brilliant to be able to hold baby goats and tortoises as well. He took some great pictures for us as well. Whilst it isn't the cheapest thing to do, I felt it was money well spent and would highly recommend a visit.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 15 December 2023
- JBPlymouth, United Kingdom28 contributionsDefinitely well worth the visitLoved the Camel farm. Not advertised on tourist map I found it on Arabic tourist map instead. Our lovely guide gave us plants to feed them, aswell as the other farm animals including deer,donkeys,bunnies,large tortoise and birds. I went on the three minute ride which was great. They also do an hour camel ride in the dessert which I would have loved to do but my daughter wasn’t keen. Would love to go back again for the hour ride.

- Claire S1 contributionJust brilliant!One of our absolute favourite experiences in the UAE. A genuine delight to visit and help feed all their amazing animals. The kids had a blast and we got to see a one week old camel and cuddle a three week old baby! Did the feeding tour, camel cuddle therapy and a quick ride. Could not recommend more highly!Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten 27 March 2024
- Janet GLondon, United Kingdom199 contributionsMy favourite attraction in DubaiOne of the best tourist attractions I have ever visited. Quite easy to drive yourself to - on a brand new highway followed by a mildly thrilling 300m or so across the desert. If you do go the guided tour with animal feeding is well worth paying for. Unencumbered by ideals of conservationism that have reduced many western zoos to quasi museums, here one can really get up close and personal with the animals. Our toddler was able to pick up a baby goat and carry it around. You don't get that at Berlin Zoo. The camels are charming, the staff are charming, and sitting in their tent drinking a cup of tea after the walk was wonderfully peaceful. An absolute must for any family in Dubai.Visited May 2024Travelled with familyWritten 16 May 2024

The farm is owned by Emirates but a french lady started the business and is running it.
The farm is basically a couple of animals ( camels, donkey, deer , goats , pigeons ,rabbit , turkey, chicken and quail ), they take you from one to them other and you feed them a type of grass while taking pictures.
at the end you are served either ( fresh raw yummy camel milk, water, arabic coffee , or karak).
You have to book by calling or watsapping them or else you will be sent away!
Entrance fee is 40 aed for any1 older then 3 years old. Camel ride is 15 aed per person . It is a bit expensive for a small farm but worth it after seeing the kids happy.
I think what made our experience really amazing was our guide! He encouraged the kids to feed the animals when they were a bit hesitated in the beginning. My son who is afraid of everything ended up running after and catching quails on his own ! Im sorry i didnt get his name was seriously he was amazing with the kids.

Vivien's camel farm is a small, but very nice place, where you will be accepted with arabian hospitality and european service. Not only children, but parents also enjoyed this adventure a lot. It was very nice to feed and pet all animals - the donkey is so cute. Camels are awesome! Soft, warm and large. They look like fantastic animals from another planet. And we had a chance to ride them!
We took an impressive ride along desert, and that was a small moment to feel ourselves as bedouins, crossing deadly sands with a caravan going through the Great Silk Road.
Vivien (or, as she called herself 'Chief Camel Officer') was very hospital and communicative. After feeding animals we took a rest in an authentic bedouines tent, where we were treated with free drinks.
It was a nice trip worth money spent on it. Thanks!
If you decide to visit this place, it would be better to contact Vivien in advance by the means of Whatsapp, so that she could sent you driving instructions - Google Maps led us to a diffenent place nearby.

This was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Our 3 year old daughter loved it and had lots of fun. The experience is very intimate, getting assigned a lovely guide who took us around all the animals (yes there are more than just camels!) and made things very fun for our little one. It was great getting to feed all the animals and getting to interact with all of them.
The most notable thing I would say is how friendly everyone is. Right from booking we were sent a whatsapp with very clear instructions of how to get there and it feels more like you are visiting someone's residence than an attraction!
If you want something different from all the big, crowded Dubai attractions then this is a fantastic choice.
Thank you to everyone at The Camel Farm. :)

First of all it is completely overpriced, when we arrived we were asked to pay immediately before we received a welcome!
On the website it’s advertised as “one hour guided tour with feeding moment” but the tour was exactly 24min! We didn’t receive any information unless we asked ourselves. It was in fact only feeding the animals.
The “tour guide” was informed that one person in the group was scared of birds and he intentionally let all the birds fly around the person while he was laughing.
We also requested a short camel ride for which we paid 15aed per person and the “short camel ride” was indeed very short: 3min.
For a family with 2 kids we paid in total 260AED which is totally NOT worth the money!
It’s also a long drive from the city centre of Dubai so if you need to drive from Marina / Downtown area.

My Wife and I took our 4.5 year old boy and thoroughly enjoyed our morning there. We spent approximately 2 hours there with our friendly guide, feeding the animals and our son enjoyed a camel ride. It was such a pleasant change to get away from the city and enjoy a much slower pace, and an ethos that celebrates the needless gadgets of today. We were greeted by the owner of the attraction, a French lady whose care and love of the animals was most apparent.
All in all a lovely, simple and most pleasant experience that we plan to repeat. Thank you

As a relatively new venture the Camel Farm was amazing. If you have children even more so. As well as the camels there is an animal sanctuary where the children can handle and feed birds, egoats, donkeys, rabbits, turkeys, goats and even deer. Each family has its own personal guide who help you with the food etc. Refreshments are provided before going on a camel trip into the desert. Again everything was done so well and we were assisted on to and off the camels with lots of advice to endure we were comfortable and for our safety. The guide was really helpful with my grandson who was doing a photography project and enabled him to get amazing photos out in the desert. Vivienne the owner was so friendly and welcoming and interested in making sure each family was treated as a special group and not bunched in with others visitors.
I can fully see why this farm has reached no 7 on Trip Advisor after having only been opened last year and wish the Camel Farm all the very best of success for the future.

If you wanna have an authentic amazing activity in Dubai, this is THE thing to do !
Viviane, the owner, will welcome you with such incredible energy and show you the farm and all the animals.
You can also, and I strongly recommend it, do a camel ride (half an hour or one hour) for a very good price ; the ride brings you in the desert, you feel like a real local, it’s super easy to ride and that brings you an fantastic experience!
Definitely, you have to do it !

Had a nice day taking photos of the camels and other animals. However, I don’t feel that it’s the greatest value for money. At AED 50 per person for a quick 20-30 minute walk around. The “tour guide” was well spoken and took some photos for us, but a few signs around could have easily explained about which camels to touch and not to touch and which ones were female and male. I kept seeing the place pop up and the reviews were decent so we decided to visit. However, I think it might be best if you have kids, or are just there for the Bedouin camel ride. We’ve done a camel ride before, so weren’t interested to do another. I believe that for the AED 50, it might be better value for money if you include the 3 minute camel ride (which is an extra AED 15), within the cost. Overall, a nice quick day out, but would only return in the future if we had children with us.

Waste of money. It is an expensive petting zoo. I was told it would be an hour tour. Was not even 25 minutes and the “tour” was just a guy with food to feed animals. It’s a small area with animals on the side. Spent most of the time with all animals except camels. Had a photo op and saw the camels they use for the hour long trek. I’ve been to camel farms where there are a ton, there were not that many at all. We paid for the short camel ride. Was told it would be 3-4 minutes which was short but actually only lasted about 1.5 minutes. Because two were on the camel that 1.5 minutes cost 30 aed (15 aed pp).
Was so excited about this “tour” but was very disappointed. We really learned nothing about camels but just paid to feed their other animals - 250 aed for less than a half hour. Not worth the drive or cost.
Do not recommend.

Hi - how far are you from Dubai Marina please ?
Also would you have any idea how much transport for 2 people would cost as we won’t have a car ?
