Fantastic Experience! - Riding on a camel and viewing the beautiful Mespaloma Dunes was amazing! It was a wonderful bonding experience with nature and its fascinating creatures, my family and fellow travellers.

Camel ride - What an incredible experience to celebrate our 25th anniversary together. Staff are so friendly, very knowledgeable and take care of camels so well. Camels very well behaved (even got a selfie with jamie the camel) easy to find and a great area to explore

Amazing - What a way to get up and close to these amazing animals. It was a really enjoyable ride and as I travelled alone, sandbags were added to counter balance my weight. It only costs around 18 Euros per person and not only do you travel through the amazing dunes but you can also see the distant mountains. I would advise you to pre-book this activity as it is very busy and great fun. This is an excellent experience from start to finish and you even get to stroke the camels up closely so this is one holiday activity I would highly recommend.

Simple camel ride. - I understand where people do say it’s hard to find. I think all the Company needs to do is put a little bit more signs on the side roads. It’s very busy so would suggest trying to get there as early as possible overall experience it was okay.

I reget going. - I reget going.
I am by no means a camel expert but my partner and I both came away with a sour taste in our mouths that these conditions did not favour the animals.

Poor animals. Cages on mouths and little rest - I thought it would be a cool experience. I cried the whole way around. The camels have wire around there mouths. They go for a 30min walk in the Dunes and rest for 15mins a.d go again....this happens all day long. Our camels was tired. They hit him with a stick amd he was pulled along. Camels were visibly upset.
I don't knowhow people do this for entertainment...I didn't realise how badly they looked and were treated. I felt sick to my stomach...so sad for these beautiful animals. They need to take the cages off the mouths and give them longer rests if they are insisting to continue with this

Sick animals are forced to run along - No recommendation! The camels were handled really badly. My brother and I would be put on a sick camel, which was forced to run along and collapsed after 15 minutes. We then had to walk back alone, as the camel did not want to get up again as long as we sat on it. However, this would still have to run the entire route. The guides had told us we would get our money back but that was also very cumbersome and the staff (apart from the boss) were very unfriendly.
Cruelty to animals, no friendly dealings, prefer not to make
