Who is
uschi
Camel Uschi founder Ursula 'Uschi' Musch - or Osha to her Arab friends - has been living in the United Arab Emirates for more than 20 years.
Born in southwestern Germany, she first visited the Emirates in 1988 as a tourist and has developed a life-long passion for UAE culture and Bedouin traditions.
"Absolute best and authentic desert experience in Dubai. From Camel riding with real bedouins, over the traditional prepared food in the desert kitchen to absolute tranquility enjoying the stars in the sky in a handwoven tent over a self roasted cup of coffee."

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Let´s get this straight: Camel Uschi is not your average adventure travel host.
She is a lover of Emirati culture and heritage - and as lover of the Emirates, she launched the company in 1990. She and her team want you to feel her passion and taste with all your senses in an authentic way, up close and personal.
In the heart of the UAE's desert landscape, the Bedouin culture stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions.
We want you to experience the tribal culture as it still exists in modern UAE, against the modern city life.

Experience the nomadic desert life on camelback
The Bedouin owe their very existence to their camels. First domesticated some 3,000 years ago, the camel can provide Bedu with food, clothing, fuel and transport. In past times, camels were the only way to travel long distances.
Riding an Arabian camel for the first time can be truly memorable experience. In fact, for some visitors to the United Arab Emirates, it’s like a dream come true!
Kamel Uschi's camel farm has been breeding dromedary camels for over 20 years. The camels are trained and cared for according to age-old Bedouin traditions. They are saddled in the Arabian style by Uschi’s team, with a handmade pad filled with palm leaves.
Camel treks are typically oganised in the late afternoon, after the hottest part of the day is over. Guests are invited to ride a camel along desert trails, supervised by Uschi’s expert camel handlers.
Camel treks last for 30 minutes to an hour.

Enjoy a traditional Bedouin meal beneath the stars
Bedouin tribes depend on small herds of goats, sheep and camels for food, clothing and trade. In the desert, only the essentials count and the Bedu have to be content with simple pleasures such as clean water, camel’s milk and little meat. However, desert travelers relied havily on the generosity of others, which led to the Bedouin’s famous culture of hospitality.
Uschi’s Team prepares Arabian Bedouin dishes in front of your eyes using traditional cooking methods. Meat and vegetables are cooked on an open fire, or as madfoun or mandi (methods of cooking in hot embers buried under the ground). Guests are offered chicken, goat or camel meat, vegetables, salad, freshly baked flat bread and fresh fruits.
Of course, no Bedouin meal would be complete without a coffee ceremony, preparing and serving qahwa (Arabic coffee). Once a precious commodity, serving coffee to visitors was regarded as a sign of both benerosity and wealth.
This option which includes a camelback ride beforehand is called Desert Dream and can be booked here.
You can also opt for a camelback ride followed by a chicken dish with vegetables. Klick here to book.
