The Good Stuff
Family friendly
Children get close to camels, goats and smaller animals, with guides helping them feed and interact safely.
Well cared-for animals
Reviews repeatedly describe the farm as clean and the animals as friendly, gentle and well looked after.
Desert rides
The one-hour ride can head into the dunes, with visitors describing sunset scenery and photo stops as highlights.
Refreshments
A coffee shop, washrooms and drinks give visitors somewhere to pause before or after the animal experience.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book ahead. Reserve before visiting; several reviewers mention limited slots, even on weekdays.
Bring cash. Payment is cash only, so bring dirhams rather than relying on a card.
Use GPS carefully. Search for “Camel Farm Entry Point” and follow the UAE flags; some GPS routes use local sandy roads.
Choose timing. For a desert ride, consider an early or sunset slot rather than the hottest part of the day.
Try weekdays. Weekdays may be quieter, giving your group more time with each animal.

The Bottom Line
The Camel Farm is a hands-on animal outing in Al Warqa, especially suited to families with children. A guided visit lets you feed camels, goats and smaller farm animals, while camel hugging therapy and camel rides add more interaction than a standard walk-around attraction. Reviews describe the setting as modest, peaceful and clean rather than polished or zoo-like.
The main experiences range from short rides inside the farm to a one-hour ride into the dunes; sunset rides are praised for the scenery and photo opportunities. There is also a coffee shop, washrooms and drinks, including Camelcino, a cappuccino made with camel milk. The attraction is cash only, and customer-reported prices include 50 AED admission with camel feeding and around 45 AED for short rides and hugging, though these should not be treated as a current price list.
Plan the logistics carefully. Booking ahead is repeatedly recommended, and the final approach runs through sandy roads. One visitor got turned around using GPS, while another advised a 4x4 or suitable off-road vehicle.
Desert heat can be intense: a reviewer found a 40+ degree midday ride unbearable, so an early or sunset slot is the safer choice. One review also notes that the farm has fewer animals than a zoo, which is useful context for setting expectations.
