Ethical Camel Trekking In Dubai

Our Heritage Safari by camel includes a 60-minute camel ride; we offer shorter camel rides (15 minutes) on most of our other Desert Safaris. All of our camels are extremely well looked after. They live on a camel farm together and are only ridden twice a day, and get a break day every week. Our camels are cherished by our camel handlers and they are looked after like beloved pets. With high quality food, daily showers and frequent vet checkups, our camels are all very healthy and in good condition. We have strict rules about how much weight our camels can carry and all the saddles are created with soft padding to ensure the comfort of the camels. It’s usually quite obvious to tell when a camel is in bad condition or not very happy. An easy way for travellers to find out if the camel trekking is ethical is by asking questions related to the five freedoms mentioned above.

Ethical Falconry In Dubai

We often get questions related to whether falconry is cruel or not. It is good to see that there are responsible tourists who care about the wellbeing of animals and we are always happy to answer questions related to our ethical falcon shows in Dubai. Our expert falconers have a combined experience of 100 years working with falcons. Each falconer has a few falcons to look after and train; they form strong connections with them and learn everything there is to know about them such as their likes, dislikes, fears and favourite ways of training.

These falcons live a much longer and healthier life than their wild counterparts who would face struggles like fatal diseases, predators and difficulty finding food at times. We are very against animal cruelty and it is something we don’t consider lightly. Our falcons are domesticated and treated like beloved pets, similar to the human relationship with dogs and cats. The falcons’ hood or ‘burka’ is used to make the falcon feel safe.

Sustainable Wildlife Drives In Dubai

Most Desert Safaris in Dubai offer dune bashing which is the leading cause to severe desertification. This is an environmental degradation where desert vegetation and wildlife is lost. As a sustainable alternative we offer wildlife drives on set tracks in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve where there is a focus on entertaining and educating guests with insights about the native fauna and flora of the desert. This reserve is home to the famous Arabian oryx which was saved from extinction

Our wildlife drives are eco-friendly and we work with a professional Conservationist to ensure that we never disrupt the natural habitat of the desert animals and plants.
