Woman stuck in Dubai desert orders camel ride via Uber

A video that has recently gained attention on Instagram features two women stranded in the Dubai desert as they try to determine their next steps. When they opened the Uber app for assistance, they were surprised to discover an option to order a camel ride alongside the usual ride choices.

While driving along the Dubai-Hatta Road, a group of women found themselves lost and decided to try a mobile app for assistance. To their surprise, they discovered not only ATVs but also camels available for riding. When a man appeared, leading a camel, their reaction was priceless. One of the women couldn’t believe what was happening and exclaimed, “We got lost and ordered a camel!”

The woman who ordered the camel asked the man, “What do you do for a living?” The camel guy replied, “I drive Uber Camel. I help people who get lost.” He then explained that you can actually book a camel online too.

A week after being posted, the video has already gained over 3 million views and more than 97,000 likes. Many viewers found the situation amusing, while others were sceptical about whether it was real.

One viewer humorously wondered, “Is Uber camel has number plate too?” Another chimed in, saying, “I hope you put 5 star reviews on Uber for him.” However, a third person was not convinced, pointing out, “Doesn’t look like you’re in the middle of the desert! We can see the road right behind you only. And you’re in Sharjah as there’s no red dunes in Dubai.”
