This one’s a bit different from your usual Dubai weekend plans, but hear us out. Camelicious — one of the UAE’s most iconic agricultural brands and the producer behind the camel milk products you’ll find in supermarkets across the country — opened its farm to the public for the very first time in June 2026, in celebration of World Camel Day. The good news if you missed it: the farm tour didn’t stop when the day ended. Camelicious now runs a permanent, year-round bookable Camel Farm Tour, so you don’t need to wait for next year’s celebration to see exactly where your morning glass of camel milk comes from.
If you’ve ever drunk a carton of Camelicious camel milk (their flavours have a surprisingly devoted following) and wondered where it actually comes from, this guide covers it all: what the original World Camel Day opening was about, how to book the now-permanent farm tour, and how it compares to the UAE’s other big camel farm experience out in Al Lisaili.
What Is Camelicious?
Camelicious is part of the Emirates Industry for Camel Milk & Products — a Dubai-based operation that has turned camel milk into a genuinely thriving commercial product. Their farm is home to thousands of camels. It produces camel milk that’s sold across the UAE and exported internationally. Moreover, it’s one of those quintessentially Emirati success stories: the company has taken a centuries-old tradition and scaled it into a modern, internationally recognised brand.
World Camel Day: How the Farm Opening Started
The farm’s first-ever public opening was aimed at residents and families — a chance to discover the operation behind the product and connect with a part of UAE heritage that most residents drive past without ever getting to see up close. The camel is deeply embedded in Emirati culture and history, and this was a rare opportunity to experience that in a hands-on setting.
For families with kids especially, it was a genuinely educational day out that went well beyond the typical Dubai weekend activity. Camels are remarkable animals — built for survival in conditions that would break most other creatures — and seeing them up close at scale is a different kind of experience entirely.
Can You Visit Camelicious Year-Round? The Camel Farm Tour
Yes. Since that first World Camel Day opening, Camelicious has turned public access into a permanent offering. The Camel Farm Tour, bookable directly via camelicious.ae, includes a guided visit around the working farm, the chance to meet and feed the camels, educational insights into how the milk is actually produced, photo opportunities, and a tasting of Camelicious’s own camel milk products. It’s a genuinely different family day out from the usual mall-and-beach rotation, and one of the very few places in the UAE where you can see the full journey from camel to carton.
Camelicious vs The Camel Farm: Which Should You Visit?
Camelicious isn’t the only camel farm experience in the UAE. The Camel Farm, out in Al Lisaili, is a well-established rival with a loyal following — it holds a 4.7-star rating from hundreds of Google reviews and runs bookable tours through platforms like Viator and Trip.com. The key difference: The Camel Farm is a dedicated tourism operation built around the visitor experience, while Camelicious is first and foremost a working dairy, so a visit there leans more educational and production-focused, with the milk-tasting element you won’t find anywhere else. Worth noting: The Camel Farm typically closes over the summer months and reopens in October, so if you’re visiting between June and September, Camelicious’s farm tour is the more reliable bet.
How to Book
Book the Camelicious Camel Farm Tour directly via camelicious.ae/pages/farm-tour, or follow Camelicious on their official social channels for updated timings, seasonal availability, and any special event dates. Tours are popular around World Camel Day (22 June) and during the cooler winter months, so book ahead if you’re planning a weekend visit.

It’s not often that something this uniquely Emirati opens its doors to the public — and now that it’s a permanent fixture, there’s no excuse not to make the trip.
