Camelicious is opening its Dubai farm to the public for the first time on World Camel Day, offering visitors a unique chance to explore the world’s largest camel dairy operation and learn how camel milk reaches consumers across the UAE and beyond.
DUBAI: Residents across the UAE will soon have a rare opportunity to step inside one of the country’s most unique agricultural facilities as Camelicious opens its farm to the public for the first time in celebration of World Camel Day on June 22.
The special event marks a significant milestone for the UAE’s leading camel dairy producer, giving families, students and visitors an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how camel milk is produced on a commercial scale while highlighting the enduring importance of camels in Emirati culture.
So, what can visitors expect during the experience?
The World Camel Day Open Farm Day will offer complimentary guided tours of the Camelicious facility in Dubai, where guests will be able to meet camels, explore the farm’s operations and gain first-hand insight into the journey of camel milk from farm to table.
Visitors will have the opportunity to feed camels, observe modern dairy farming practices and view parts of the production process. The experience will also include camel milk tastings, signature camel milk products and complimentary Camelicious ice cream, creating an engaging and family-friendly day out.
The event is designed to educate consumers about the role camels continue to play in the UAE’s heritage while showcasing how modern agricultural innovation is helping support food security and sustainable nutrition goals.
According to Hesham Yehia, Acting CEO of Camelicious, World Camel Day provides an important opportunity to celebrate an animal that has played a vital role in the history and development of the region.
He noted that while camels remain deeply connected to the UAE’s cultural identity, they are also contributing to the future of sustainable food production and nutrition. Opening the farm allows visitors to experience that story in a meaningful and interactive way.
The event also comes amid growing consumer demand for locally produced food and greater transparency around how food products are sourced and manufactured. Many consumers today are increasingly interested in understanding where their food comes from and the processes behind it.
Camelicious has become one of the UAE’s most recognised agricultural success stories. The company is home to nearly 7,000 camels and produces around three million litres of camel milk annually. Its products are sold across the UAE and exported to a growing number of international markets, helping introduce camel milk to consumers worldwide.
Beyond production, Camelicious has emerged as a global ambassador for camel milk, promoting the nutritional benefits of the product while demonstrating the UAE’s leadership in agricultural innovation.
The June 22 event aims to strengthen that connection between consumers and producers by offering an authentic look inside one of the world’s most advanced camel dairy operations.
With free entry available through advance registration, the Open Farm Day is expected to attract families, food enthusiasts and anyone interested in learning more about an industry that combines tradition, sustainability and innovation.
