Camel ride in Cappadocia

Slow, swaying and high above the ground: on the back of a camel you experience Cappadocia the way the Silk Road caravans once crossed it – between fairy chimneys, through quiet valleys and into the warm light of evening or the magic of the morning.

Highlights

• Camel ride at a calm pace – no experience needed
• Red Valley and Love Valley with their fairy chimneys
• At sunset or at sunrise with a view of the balloons
• Camel handlers accompany every animal
• Hotel transfer included

Full description

We pick you up at your hotel in Cappadocia and take you to the camel station. After a short briefing the handlers help you mount – then we set off at a calm pace on car-free paths into Red Valley and Love Valley.

In the evening the sun turns the rocks red and gold; in the morning the hot-air balloons rise above you. We stop at a viewpoint for photos and then bring you back to your hotel.

For you this means: you book the ride, the handlers and the hotel transfer in one step at a fixed price per person.
