Yes, short camel rides are included—typically 5–10 minutes—intended for photos and a cultural taste rather than long treks.
Casual and modest clothing is appropriate; lightweight long sleeves and trousers balance sun protection and cultural respect. Shoes should be easy to remove when entering some seating areas.
