Sheikh Hamdan Visits Dubai’s Ghamran Camp With His Kids, Embracing Emirati Heritage

HH Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai, recently attended a heritage initiative, Ghamran Camp in Dubai, that focused on fathers, sons, and their shared values. Held in the desert, Ghamran Camp brings families back to heritage and cultural values.

Inside Sheikh Hamdan’s Visit to Ghamran Camp, Where Dubai’s Heritage Meets Family Time

In a video shared on X, Sheikh Hamdan offered a glimpse into the camp’s atmosphere. He was spotted attending the event with his children. The video also shows how Emirati fathers and children bonded over learning, laughing, and working in symphony.

What Ghamran Camp Is Really About

At its core, Ghamran Camp focuses on the connection between the father and the kids. Fathers and sons spend time together in an environment without phones or any other modes of distraction. It’s all about tradition, patience, and shared effort.

The initiative builds on something deeply Emirati: learning by doing. Children aged six to twelve took part in hands-on activities that passed down knowledge beyond theory. Father imparted lessons shaped by the land, the desert, and family life to the kids.

The camp does not rush the experience but allows children to listen, try, and sometimes fail to learn. 

Traditions That Shape Identity Of Kids At An Early Age

Activities at Ghamran Camp reflect daily practices that once defined life in the UAE. Children try shooting under supervision. They learn about falconry, Camel harnessing that teaches care and control. The list of activities also included palm tree harvesting to teach patience and respect for resources.

Each activity was linked to a skill with value. For fathers and kids, the camp offered time to build memories and learnings that would last a lifetime.
