As World Camel Day approaches on June 22, Camelicious, a Dubai-based camel dairy operation, is preparing to welcome residents and families for a public Open Farm Day. The event is designed as a first-time, behind-the-scenes look at how camel milk is produced, processed and ultimately brought to consumers in the UAE and beyond.
While camels remain closely tied to the region’s heritage, Camelicious says the Open Farm Day is also meant to highlight the role modern camel dairy farming can play in food security and agricultural innovation. For visitors, the focus is on experiential learning, with farm tours and interaction opportunities that go beyond a typical tour format.
What visitors can expect at Camelicious Open Farm Day
The complimentary event will be held at the Camelicious Farm in Dubai. According to the organizers, the program will include guided farm tours, opportunities to feed camels, and a view into the production process via factory viewing.
Visitors will also have the chance to participate in camel milk tastings and sample camel milk treats, alongside complimentary Camelicious ice cream. The goal, organizers say, is to give guests an immersive understanding of how camel milk moves from farm environment to market shelves.
An education-focused experience for families
In an effort to connect farm practices to the consumer experience, Camelicious frames the day as part of broader consumer education. The initiative is positioned as a way to show the operational reality of camel dairy farming, while also addressing how people encounter camel milk in everyday life.
For UAE residents looking for family-friendly outings that combine agriculture and local culture, the event’s format stands out for its hands-on elements, including camel feeding and tastings, which typically require controlled, organized settings.
World Camel Day and the broader context for local food
Open Farm Day events are increasingly used by agriculture and food brands to meet consumer demand for greater transparency, traceability and clearer connections between producers and products. Camelicious’ announcement comes as interest in locally produced food continues to grow, with more consumers looking for proof of origin rather than relying only on packaging.
Within that context, the farm visit aims to address a practical question for shoppers: how the production process works, and what the journey from farm to consumer looks like in day-to-day operations.
Scale of the operation highlighted by organizers
As part of its public-facing explanation, Camelicious provided figures about its current scale. The farm is described as home to nearly 7,000 camels, with annual production estimated at about three million litres of camel milk.
Organizers also indicate that the company supplies consumers across the UAE and is continuing to expand into international markets. For visitors, those statements add context for why the farm tour may be presented as more than a cultural display, but also as an industrial-scale production environment.
Registration and event timing
Camelicious says the World Camel Day Open Farm Day will take place on June 22. Guided tours are described as complimentary and available through advance registration.
For families planning a visit, the key details to watch are the registration window and tour timing, as guided access typically determines attendance capacity and the flow of visitors through the farm and production areas.
Why the event matters for UAE tourism and attractions
UAE tourism is increasingly shaped by experiences that mix leisure with learning, particularly for families. Events that bring people closer to local agriculture, food production and cultural practices can offer an alternative to conventional entertainment calendars.
In that sense, Camelicious’ Open Farm Day functions as both an attraction and an educational stop, aligned with World Camel Day’s theme and with ongoing consumer interest in how food is made. Whether visitors come for cultural curiosity, family activities, or the chance to see a working dairy facility, the event offers a structured, on-site way to engage with a topic that is often discussed but rarely seen firsthand.
As World Camel Day nears, the success of the Open Farm Day will likely depend on how effectively visitors can translate the farm tour experience into a better understanding of camel dairy production, and how accessible the registration process is for families across the UAE.
