camel rides
Saharan tourist activity
Camel rides are excursions where people sit atop camels, typically as a tourist attraction in desert regions or at zoos and fairs.
The experience offers novelty rather than practical transportation: We took camel rides near the pyramids.
The plural form usually refers to the activity generally rather than multiple individual rides.
