Two tourists in Dubai, lost in the desert, hilariously ordered a camel ride via Uber, turning their ordeal into a viral adventure.

Dubai, a city renowned for its stunning skyline and a variety of remarkable attractions, has once again captivated tourists with an unexpected take on transportation. Recently, a video went popular on Instagram showing two travelers traveling through the wide, sun-drenched desert and ending themselves in an unusual yet humourous situation: using the Uber app to schedule a camel ride.

The two women, who are clearly disoriented in the vast desert, decide to use the Uber app to get help at the start of the video. They were shocked to learn that the app provided them with a strange variety of options, such as ATVs and, most astonishingly, a camel, in addition to the typical automobiles. The women's reaction was a mixture of enthusiasm and incredulity, and the moment was recorded.
