As we have already discussed the anatomy of a camel’s foot and the benefits of their wide feet, it’s important to understand how these characteristics help them walk on sand – a particularly difficult terrain for most animals. Walking on sand requires the right adaptation in order to avoid sinking and maintain balance.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and walking shoes for this activity. As you will be spending time in the desert, we also suggest wearing suncream, and bringing sunglasses and a hat
Dune Bashing: Head out in a 4*4 vehicle with a professional driver and enjoy smashing dunes at high speeds. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you move up the steep dunes and jump across some of them.
Just loved the experience. the dune bashing was amazing and we were well informed in time about everything.
Sandboarding is mandatory for all those who want to experience the true definition of adrenaline pumping (not included).
Do note racing is seasonal, so you need to wait for the cooler days of winter to catch the racing in action. In summer, you can head along early and catch a glimpse of trainers putting camels through their paces.
Nails: Each toe also has a nail that helps to provide traction on the sand. The nails are short and blunt, unlike the long, pointed nails of other animals.
Add to that that driving in the sand is complicated, and if you don’t have any experience, you just risk getting stuck in the dunes after 50 metres.
After dinner, you will get a short night ride in the desert with a guide and then spend the night in a Bedouin check here tent equipped with comfortable beds.

As well as many traditional Bedouin events from Saluki racing to falconry – even sheep milking and date packing – the centrepiece event is the Camel Mazayna – a beauty contest for camels.
