![How to ride a camel on Marina Beach in Dubai](/photo/idea/1600/386.jpg?1502975693)
You can do it on many beaches in Dubai, for example, Marina Beach. It is located on the western outskirts of the city and it`s considered countryside, so the entry is free. The beach here abruptly changes to the stone jungle - the area is actively built up with skyscrapers. This combination of old and new creates very contrasting landscapes - the water surface of the bay and white sand is on one side, and skyscrapers and roads - on the other.

How to do?
2. Camels peacefully sit on the sand and rest, or give the other holiday-makers a ride. The instructor will show you how to get on a camel and how to behave while being in the saddle. They are sufficiently peace-loving animals, so do not be afraid of them. Be calm, and they will repay you the favor.

3. When the camel gets up, you will suddenly find yourself high above the ground. Keep your hand tightly on the rails and go for a walk along the coast of the bay.
