Nowadays the camel is still highly regarded and seen as a symbol of Dubai’s cultural heritage. This strong cultural connection to Dubai, makes encounters with camels very attractive for tourists.Watching a camel race, visiting a camel farm or enjoying a Camel Desert Safari are some of the ways to understand this connection.
