Dubai - Anyone know where I can take my visiting little 6 year old for a camel ride without doing the desert safari/ Many thanks

There used to be some on the beach at JBR but alas no more, maybe the heat maybe lack of business as JBR is only 20% occupied, maybe even less

The place where you hire quad bikes (near big red I think) on the road to Hatta has pony and camel rides for kids.

Thanks Kim67 if nowhere nearer is suggested will have a drive out on Thursday

I thought I heard something about camel rides being seen at Marina Walk, but cant recall where I saw this... Maybe worth checking on the way to Hatta.....

maybe a bit extravagant - IF Ramadan is not on this Friday - Bab Al Shams does a brunch / pool use deal and there are camel rides, falcons etc...

Maybe a bit much for a 6 year old - but you get something out of it too!

Heritage Village by the Shindagga Tunnel Bur Dubai side used to have them

The camels are still trekking up and down JBR beach as at today and I guess you can still get a ride on them....

Will give that another try first then before I set off out on the Hatta Rd but looked out for them recently and not seen them

I think they hang around between the Hilton and what was the Oasis Beach Hotel when they aren't going up and down the beach.
