A viral video on Instagram shows a woman allegedly stranded in the middle of a desert in the outskirts of Dubai ordering a Camel via Uber. While the authenticity of the story is dubious, the Camel on Uber seems genuine. The woman shows her smartphone screen with the Uber app running, depicting the price of a camel ride. Some of the other bizarre options on the app are ATV. The content was reportedly shot at Al Badayer by the Dubai-Hatta road. The woman in the reel claims to be lost and hence decides to UBER. Much to their surprise, the content creator sees camel as an option and opts for one. They are amused as a man arrives at the location with a camel. It most certainly is promotional content; nonetheless, getting a Uber Camel in the middle of desert seems cool, especially for filthy rich customers.

Reactions poured in, with several users questioning the genuinity of the Instagram reel while others taking potshots. Few users asked if the Uber camel arrived with a number plate “for safety reasons.” Others called out Uber for animal abuse in the name of providing camels for a ride. However, as a mode of transportation in the desert, it would only seem reasonable to deploy one.

The user further added that Uber horses can be used in the hilly states of the country. He fell short of suggesting using Uber haathi in South Indian jungles.
