Camel riding in Dubai
Dubai has a number of beautiful beaches like famous Palm Beach. The year round sunshine and excellent soft sandy beaches along the coast are ideal for relaxing, lazing or sun bathing. For the more active, there are water sports to be enjoyed in the warm waters of the Persian Gulf. Winters in Dubai are pleasant but during summer temperatures can reach up to 45-50 degrees centigrade with equally high humidity. There is also a public beach at Al Mamzar Park on the Deira side of the Creek. The public facilities include playgrounds, barbecue sites, food kiosks, and picnic areas. Dubai beaches offer a plenty of recreational activities including beach volleyball, jet skiing, deep-sea fishing, paragliding, windsurfing or any other water-sport you desire to enjoy. Jumeirah Beach is the most famous and popular beach in Dubai. Actually, it is a long stretch of beach on the Persian Gulf flanked by hotels and private clubs, interspaced by a few public access marine beaches. The Jumeirah beaches have soft white sand that slip into the shallow warm turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf. At the camp you will have the opportunity to ride a camel.
After the hectic of the Souks at Bastakia Quarter in the old Dubai we wanted to have some lunch at the beach of Dubai. During summer months, the weather is uncomfortably hot and humid. So we took the taxi to public beach Jumeirah. At the camel camp we seem to forget we're in Dubai.
Een prachtige plek aan het strand is restaurant Eauzone in het One and Only Royal Mirage hotel aan de voet van het palmeiland Jumeirah. Hier kun je een heerlijke lunch krijgen op het strand met uitzicht over het palmeiland en de Dubai Marina. Het restaurant is onderdeel van een immens hotelresort opgetrokken in Arabische stijl. Een Ceasar Salad of een lunchmaaltijd met noodles, groente en kip kost circa €12. Valt mee dus voor zo’n luxe resort. Na de lunch kun je blijven hangen op het strand of aan een van de zwembaden. Na vijf uur opent de Rooftop Bar waar je het hangend in oosterse kussens donker kan zien worden. Als je wilt relaxen bij het water kun je in de meeste hotels bij het zwembad gaan liggen. De grote hotel resorts aan het strand hebben allemaal hun eigen strand dat vaak ook voor gasten toegankelijk is als je maar consumeert. Openbare stranden zijn er in de wijken Jumeirah en Umm Suqeim. Natuurlijk kan je hier ook op een echte kameel stappen, goed idee als je toch in Dubai bent.

Through camel riding, you can really forget and get away with the usual and casual life of the busy cities. It will be a different experience rather than of riding on SUV’s and other common automobiles. Camel riding or camel trek is one of the most popular and exciting activities in the deserts of Dubai. Experience the thrill as the camels walk along the up and own duns of the desert sands. You can even watch the sun as it set down while riding on the camels. See how the camels symbolize the values of temperance and patience of Dubai that despite many hassles the journey still continues!
Let op voor kamelen……net buiten de stad Dubai ziet men deze waarschuwing op verkeersborden langs de weg. Een kameel is van grote symbolische waarde voor de bedoeïenen (woestijnbewoners).
