The Buraimi camel souq is the smaller, quieter cousin of the better-known camel market in Al Ain. Trading takes place mostly in the early morning, with herders, drivers, and buyers gathered around pens of camels and goats. It is less of a tourist attraction than its UAE counterpart, which is part of its appeal — you see the trade as it actually happens.
Friday is the busiest day. Visitors are welcome but should keep to the edges and ask before photographing people. The action is over by mid-morning; come early. The site is dusty and basic; sensible footwear and water are advisable.
