During the pursuit of a place to live in Bahrain our Realtor took us here for a break from house hunting. We didn't really didn't interact with the animals during this visit as we weren't sure as to what was allowed. The next week we came again while on an Island tour sponsored by the Naval Base. Then it was... More

It is tucked away right off the road and is not marked or anything. It shares a little parking lot with some gaurded Bahrainian Military looking facility. Anyway, it is a large open area with a bunch of camels on leashes. Then another area with some fenced in camels. One of the workers (who was very friendly) took us to... More

Pretty much a lot of camels. The ones with an enclosure were very nice. The others had a chain to their feets. That was not very nice! More

This was the coolest place ever- and it's not just for kids, my fiancé and I visited the camels and it was a great experience. The staff is very helpful and really wants to tell you about the farm. W were able to see 3 baby camels and feed them. Make sure to tip the staff a bit because they... More

This was a surprise -- my driver knew about it and it wasn't it the guidebook. I saw camels mating and also some 2-week old camels. We were told there are 600 camels there. No entrance fee and no guides, Just wandered around a bit. Pretty cool. More

The movement you enter the place your feelings will take you to the olden arabian ages. Camels were their main transportation agents. I should thank the Farm Management for taking care these animals. More

We have visited the Royal Camel Farm on many occasions and found the attendants friendly and happy to show our grandchildren the camels and talk to them. Late last year "No Admittance" signs were placed at the front gates but I'm sure visitors can still enter, as we did. The size of the farm with extensive grounds, walls and camel... More

There is absolutely no signage or brochures to explain the purpose of this farm. Do they raise them for consumption? Do they sell to race them? Why are there so many camels and what is their purpose? I really wanted to know but there is no one to tell you and the workers who are there to make tips for... More
