Camels, camels, they're everywhere!




Camels are everywhere in the landscape, some roaming wild, some herded, and some owned in groups. This is the only place I have ever been where there is such a thing as 'camel roadkill'. Fortunately for you, I do not have a photo of that. The locals round hundreds of them up and herd them to the market at night, keeping them in pens at the pier, and loading them on cargo ships in the morning on a crane...I hear that unfortunately some of them wiggle and get dropped from the crane!
