Camel Road is the informal name given to a stretch of Al Alyaah Street in the UAE where camels often appear beside the road or on neighbouring farm land. There is no timetable and this is not a formal attraction. If you stop safely, camels may sometimes come close to the road or parked cars. This guide provides the map location and explains how to stop without blocking traffic, keep a respectful distance and avoid feeding camels unsuitable human food.
What you may see
The animals do not follow a schedule. Sometimes they are beside the road; at other times they remain farther away on the farm. If you wait, they may approach the car out of curiosity.
How to behave around camels
Stop only where it is safe and never block traffic. Stay calm, give the animals space and do not attempt to touch or chase them. Remember that this is an active road, not a petting zoo.
Do not bring food
Do not feed the camels. If you stop to watch them, keep a safe distance and avoid approaching them.
