A Dubai desert adventure to remember
Bedouin culture, camel rides and fast four-wheel-drives rolling over the dunes – Dubai's desert landscape offers much more than you would ever expect.

Watch camels compete at one of the Middle East's top sports venues
Deep in the Dubai desert sands at Al Marmoom Camel Race Track, located next to Al Marmoom Heritage Village and the Al Lisaili area, you can find a modern-day version of the old tradition of camel racing. The sport is a pastime that originated in the region and has a whole community of avid local followers. Head down here to see 60 camels flood from the gates, legs flying in all directions, making their way as fast as they can down the track.

Take a thrilling leap with a skydiving experience over Dubai
