About
Royal Camel Farm sits in Al Jasra, in the Southern Governorate of Bahrain. It is a traditional camel farm that also goes by the name Al Jasra Camel Farm, and it offers a window onto the Bedouin heritage and desert culture that shaped life in the Gulf long before the modern island nation took its current form.
What you can see
- Purebred Arabian camels, the animals at the centre of the farm's work
- Cultural demonstrations that show aspects of traditional desert life
- A working farm setting, rather than a purely decorative display
What kind of visit it makes
A visit here suits anyone curious about the people and animals of the desert, and it works well as a change of pace from Bahrain's urban areas. Because the farm is a place where camels are actually kept, the experience is closer to observation than to a polished exhibit, and it rewards a relaxed pace and questions to those who work there.
Al Jasra is a quiet area in the south of the island, so the farm is best approached as a deliberate trip rather than something passed on the way to somewhere else. Planning the visit in advance is sensible, and the farm can be reached by telephone on +973 1772 1500 to check arrangements before you go.
Planning your trip
Bring water and wear clothing suited to outdoor conditions, as much of the time will be spent outside among the animals. Allow enough time to take in the demonstrations and to walk around at an unhurried pace.
