Camel Riding School

15 October 2005

Here is an idea to spend a holiday doing something different. The only Camel Riding School in Nuweiba offers lectures and courses for groups. The camel naturally causes curiosity. At Habiba Village local Bedouins teach about the camel and its nature. Available are intro courses and a 3 day camel riding course with an in length dive into Bedouin culture and a great occasion to learn about the camel and the Sinai desert.
The more adventurous traveler might like to experience the real desert on camel back. Advanced camel treks can last from 3 to 10 days. Here the tourist takes part in the daily routine, collecting firewood, cooking on campfire and of course practice how to care for his camel under the guidance of the Bedouin.
Over the years the once nomadic Bedouins have more or less settled down. Lifestyle has changed completely. Bedouins are still on the tough road of adapting to this new way of life. The camel riding school presents a chance for Bedouins to earn from tourism providing their precious treasure, the ancient knowledge about survival in a hostile desert environment.
