How to ride a camel in the desert
It made me
Fulfilled
 "When in India we hired three camels and went on a camel back safari in the desert of pushka."
How I did it: Booked with local tour operators, took two days spent night with local farmer's family eating proper Indian food. Our tour guides were very poor and couldn't speak very much English Fantastic experience though.
Lessons & tips: The farmers family lived in no more than a hut, no running water, not lighting, no electricity. They owned two cows a goat and a dog. But I felt as if I was the one that was missing something from my life when with them. They had everything that anyone needs. They taught me a lot, and I taught them nothing.

It made me
How I did it: It was in the desert of Egypt, on a "super safari" trip we went on :) Very cute animals, very lazy and slow, haha... I'm scared of riding on horses, and on the camel you don't have much to hold on to! but it was not scary at all, because they were so slow :p Read how I did it…

Riding A Camel Through The Sahara!
22 months ago
It was a great experience! Definatley worth it. You can usually do it as part of a package, I did mine in Tunisia but also have done it in Furteventura but not through the desert.
Sometimes it’s kind of upsetting as they are often chained together.
Booked the holiday!

Last night we booked flights, tour, hotels, camps, hostels and camel riding! It’s all so exciting!
Gonna be bloody hot though, in the Sahara, in June.

Scary as...

I was gripping on for dear life and it’s a good job I was too. Those animals are enormous, but not very friendly. A five minute trip was all that was needed – and all that was offered for that matter – but was worth doing, just to say I had. A group of us did a desert safari in Dubai – it is the best thing to do in the whole of the UAE without a doubt! I definitely recommend driving through the dunes and if camels are thrown in too – then all the better!
Tunisia

My boyfriend and I went to Tunisia two years ago. We stayed in a place called Hammamet – a bit touristy, but had lovely markets that felt very Arabic, and incredible beaches and harbours. We went on a trip round the country to see a bit more of the place – the place called Matmata where Star Wars was filmed (there is actually a place called Tattooine!), the old Roman amphitheatre called El Djem, some of the old old cities. And to top it off we went as far south as you can go in the country, near the Libyan border, and rode camels. One of the highlights of the trip and I’ve never forgetten it. They move so different to a horse. And the dunes were peaceful and ridiculously beautiful. They looked so smooth, they were like still water.
Rode a camel in Sahara

It might sound boring at first, but it was one of the coolest experiences i’ve had traveling. I got to ride a camel in the Sahara desert in Tunisia. It was sunset and the whole desert turned beautiful read/orange color. I didn’t want to leave!
