A video making waves on Instagram has captured the attention of social media users, showing two women in the middle of a desert in Dubai using the Uber app to order a ride, only to be surprised by an unusual option—a camel. The video, reportedly shot at Al Badayer, Dubai-Hatta Road, depicts the women’s astonishment as they come across options to order not just ATVs but also a camel via the popular ride-hailing app. However, Times Now has not been able to independently verify the claims in the video.
In the video, one of the women explains that they were lost in the desert and decided to open the Uber app, where they unexpectedly found the option to order a camel for transportation. Moments later, a man arrives with a camel, leaving the women visibly amazed. One of the women can be heard expressing her disbelief about their situation: “We got lost and ordered a camel.”
