Swimming with Race Camels on the Beach

Did you know that camels are excellent swimmers? We take young race camels as well as our calm school camels to the beach for a few hours of aquatic training in the morning. The program is a unique experience, where you will have the chance to paddle along the camels as they swim ahead. It truly shows the ability of the large animals, which are real powerhouses in water as on land.

Apart from swimming, you’ll be able to ride along the beach and in shallow waters, on your own or with our guide, depending on your experience level. Either way, the scene also makes for some brilliant pictures.
