  • I haven't done this but the camel keepers are very aggressive inviting you to ride their camels. Be careful and negotiate the price before you get on a camel because they can ask for more money when you have to get off. I've tried riding a camel during a safari in the desert and believe me, an inexperience person can't get off a camel without help.

     Negotiating a price before you get on the camel sounds like a very good idea...LOL
