A ‘must do’ tour!
The Evening Camel Caravan Tour and Bedouin Dinner was a fantastic tour. Great photo opportunities with the camels! Recommend booking the longer camel ride - well worth it. There was falcon bird holding, henna hand painting a fire show and much more. The dinner was incredible - so much to choose from! Our wonderful guide Amr Sheta was so attentive to any need, he was very informative and helpful in every way - I can highly recommend Amr!
Response from the operator: Hi Georgia! Amr Sheta is thrilled you enjoyed the camel caravan, dinner, and activities. Being attentive and informative is exactly how we aim to run every tour.

What An Amazing Experience!
I loved everything about this excursion from start to finish. Everyone was so nice, friendly and welcoming! The tour guide Mustafa ensured that I had a great experience especially as a solo traveler. The camel ride with Anwar Ali was amazing. He made the camel ride a lot of fun. I was anxious in the beginning of the camel ride abs he was able to alleviate my anxiety and take some great pictures for me. It was clear that the camel adores him. I had some delicious tea and got a henna tattoo. The food was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend this excursion! Amazing experience!
Response from the operator: Hi Olusola, Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. Mustafa and Anwar Ali will be so happy to hear your kind words. We’re glad you felt safe and had fun. Hope to see you again for more tea and camel rides!

Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis cost?
+
Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai: Evening Camel Caravan, Bedouin Dinner at Al Marmoom Oasis start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Dune Buggy Safari Tour in Red Dunes Options. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
