Camel Riding

Camels have always been the best means of desert transport.

Affectionately known as 'ships of the desert', camels are of great economic importance to the Arabs and the people of central Asia.

Camels not only provide them with a means of transport but also supply them with milk, food and hair (to weave into fabric).

The camel is one of the easiest of animals to control. Even a child can control hundreds at a time because they will always follow where the lead animal in the chain is being led.

Camels are beautiful to look at with their big, liquid eyes and long, fluttering eyelashes. Camels have a stately presence and a haughty, almost regal, manner.

On our camel trekking tours we follow the ancient trade routes, passing by many interesting caravan stations and archaeological sites, experiencing the open desert landscapes during the day, and sleeping under the stars at night.
