How to ride a Camel
It made me
 "Amazing experience, and a little bumpy, getting off was a challenge since my camel didn't seem to want to let me off."
How I did it: They had Bedouin guides who helped select an appropriate camel for each person and who led them around the camp. Too bad they didn't give me any tips on how to steer the thing when my guide decided to give me the reins! Lessons & tips: Ask for tips on how to steer and manuever the thing, talk nicely to your camel and hang on! |

Vaguely amused 
How I did it: My family took a trip to Lanzarote, one of the islands off of the coast of Africa owned by the Spanish. The island has, seriously, all forms of topography and vegetation, and lots of sand. They had a touristy place to ride camels out of the National Park of Timanfaya. Lots of fun. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I'm grateful to Si that he let me convince him to come with me, despite his reservations.We went to Joseph's Amazing Camels in Warwickshire. Simon rode a dromedary called Kokoso, and I rode Veneta, a Bactrian. Very different to riding a horse, but great fun - and what lovely animals camels are! Read how I did it…

How I did it: I visited a camel farm in Qatar desert, where you can ride camels for about 3 USD. Our tour guide asked the camel owners if we could ride them, so they mounted a saddle on one, and up I went. Read how I did it…

How I did it: At the pyramids in Giza, I took a 15min ride. Camel as fairly sedate and it wasn't too bumpy of a ride. I did freak out at the begining due to not leaning back as far as I really needed to while it rose from the ground. Read how I did it…

Here he is…’Playboy the camel!’ The worst part? When the camel stands up, it throws you forward! The best part? Erm, well I suppose the trek! It’s a bit uncomfortable but worth it! I trekked across sand dunes in Turkey.

So it wasn’t a long camel trek or trail ride like you’d get with riding horses, and was really more like a pony ride with a camel, but yesterday at my local county fair, I rode a camel! And it was awesome! Now I want to do a longer ride, but I can still consider this goal completed. This is HUGE! :)

I rode a little short one at a fair in USA, and a huge giant one in Egypt. I would like to someday race on one. My husband would’t let me in Egypt cuz he said it would just run away with me completely and they would find me weeks later in Sudan.

Not at fun as it may seem. The worst is when the camel crouches down to let you off. But still worth doing, if only for saying ’’I have done this’’.
