Heart-breaking camel ride

2.00It's obvious the camels are not cared for. Lots of grunting and puffing and they some didn't want to get up to carry heavy tourists on their back. They get whipped if they don't obey and they have to wear metal muzzles and mouthpiece. I sensed this felt like torture to them. There's a lady who runs the operation and she is rude and bossy, just the type you'd expect to run such a sad camel train. Perhaps she's got nothing better in her life to do do than this? Take my recommendation, save your money and do something with more welfare, this just isn't it. The only positive is the scenery but not worth the suffering. I left with a heavy heart.
Nice camel ride!

4.00The camels were easygoing and the staff were friendly. Fair amount of camels to accommodate for a large amount of people. Arrived around 11am and the wait time was 30mins. A nice 30min camel ride, although the area was not very scenic.
Animal abuse

1.00If I could I would give ZERO stars. This is animal abuse. We came to look at the camels, but got an unpleasant surprise. As we arrived I group of people were going to ride the camels. One of the camels were clearly tired and didn't want to stand up. Still, even when the camel screamed they tried to force him to stand with two heavy people on each side. When the camel still refuses and screamed in probably pain, they started hitting the camel hard until he obeyed. The camels clearly have it bad, forced to wear horrible saddles and painful mouths covers all day while they're forced to walk long distances with people on their backs, probably little water and care. Don't go if you are just a little human.
Nice camels

5.00Nice experience wird animals . Better to come early in der morning. At about 11 or 12 o' clock You might have to wait 20 minutes. But it doesn't matter that much. It 'll be worth it.

Super experience for my boys, me and my daughter think it was something scary.

4.00Was there at the opening pages in October. Get right in on the first trip. The camels lay ready in rows and rows. My poor girl at 5 started to cry a little at once when the camel behind came and breathed her in the neck (the camels have grids in front of their mouth so nothing can happen) the guides were attentive and made the camel ours to stand up. So we let go of this problem... Until we started walking, the camels go tight and sneezing and breathing from the camels must be tolerated. Big animals. I'd rather be happy when the trip was over. While for my two older boys and husband, this was a fun experience. My daughter and I probably thought this was something unpleasant and scary. Humps into the desert. Otherwise, I have nothing negative to say about the arrangement itself. Looks like the animals are somewhat okay. I hope so, at least. If you have won with a horse, this is definitely a great experience.
Great experience!
