Nice experience - We did it because our daughter wanted to ride a camel and although she was a little scary at first, she ended up enjoying the experience a lot. Older people I think we enjoy even more hehehe.

The experience was very... - The experience was very fun and surprisingly longer than I expected. When you check in you’re entered into the queue so it is a first come first serve with no appointments so I’d suggest planning accordingly if you have other plans. Remember these are animals so don’t be surprised that there will be a barn smell and some poop to avoid so wear sensible shoes!

Nice experience for the whole family - We booked tickets the day before. When we arrived the next day, we were assigned a number in the queue. We arrived a little over 11 a.m. and had to wait about 1.5 hours before it became our turn. Recommend therefore to be out in good time. Nice experience for the whole family at a good price (we were two adults and a child of 7 years old). For animal welfare, they had a maximum weight limit for all who were to sit on the camels. All camels had names, and it seemed that those who leased the camels knew them well.

Kindness of camel keepers - The experience was generally positive, only two notes somewhat negative to mention, one was too long a wait, in my opinion for a somewhat flawed organization and the second that people who in line were in positions behind ours enjoyed the experience earlier than we, ie were allowed to sneak in.But the walk and treatment of the employees wonderful.

Interesting experience - Our TUI guide has given us the tip to take bathing suits with us and I want to pass this tip on. We were there about 10.15 am and then after a shorter queue the time is 1.40 pm ! Got it. You can do some shopping and bathing, it was still unpleasantly hot. Even if it's nice. You can also eat or drink to pass the time. The ride itself is quite nice, exciting experience on the camel. The half hour was observed, was rather a few minutes longer. Very exciting with the camels.

Disorganized - Be aware you only can book online and you get no time, it is first come, first served so for us, that meant wasting money in a taxi ride out there to find out they are sold out, then we have to go back another day and arrive at 9 am to ensure we can take the ride.
