Families can step behind the scenes of a uniquely Emirati success story.
- Visitors can explore the world’s largest advanced camel dairy operation.
- Families gain rare access to normally closed agricultural production facilities.
- Camel milk tastings and interactive experiences bring heritage to life.
- Local food transparency continues driving consumer curiosity across the UAE.
Weekend plans in Dubai are increasingly shifting beyond malls and traditional attractions. Across the UAE, families are showing growing interest in experiences that offer a closer connection to local culture, food production, and sustainability. That trend makes Camelicious’ upcoming World Camel Day celebration feel especially timely.
For the first time ever, the company is opening its Dubai farm to the public, offering visitors a behind the scenes look at one of the country’s most fascinating agricultural success stories. Scheduled for June 22, the complimentary Open Farm Day invites guests to discover how a deeply rooted part of Emirati heritage continues to evolve through innovation and modern food production.
The timing couldn’t be better. Consumers today want to know where their food comes from. Farm to table experiences, local sourcing, and food transparency have become increasingly important across the UAE. Camelicious is tapping directly into that curiosity by opening the doors to a facility that houses nearly 7,000 camels and produces approximately three million litres of camel milk annually.
Guests attending the experience will be able to join guided tours, feed camels, view the production process, sample camel milk products, and enjoy complimentary treats including Camelicious ice cream. Rather than simply observing from a distance, visitors will get an up close understanding of how camel milk travels from farm to consumer shelves across the UAE and international markets.
Beyond the attractions, the event highlights a bigger story. Camels have long been woven into the identity of the UAE, symbolising resilience, survival, and connection to the land. Today, that legacy continues through food security initiatives, sustainable agriculture, and growing global interest in alternative nutritional products.
Camelicious has become a key part of that conversation. According to Acting CEO Hesham Yehia, the goal is to help families better understand both the historic significance of camels and their growing role in shaping the future of nutrition and agricultural innovation.
For many visitors, the day will be about meeting camels and enjoying family activities. For others, it may offer a surprising glimpse into an industry quietly helping position the UAE as a leader in modern agriculture. Either way, opportunities like this rarely come around. Advance registration is now open for the complimentary World Camel Day Open Farm Day on June 22, giving residents a chance to experience a side of Dubai that few ever get to see!
