The
camels
the ship of the desert,
Riding on a camel, softly swinging, in an unfamiliar
height. To be carried through the desert, on the
back of a camel, safely guided by a Bedouin. A very
special adventure:
The camel is a large, strong desert animal. Camels
can travel great distances across hot, dry deserts
with little food or water. They walk easily on soft
sand where trucks would get stuck, and carry people
and heavy loads to places that have no roads. Camels
also serve the people of the desert in many other
ways.
The camel carries its own built-in food supply on
its back in the form of a hump. The hump is a large
lump of fat that provides energy if food is hard to
find.
In wadi rum we have only the Arabian camel, , which
has one human.
Riding the camels in wadi rum,
There is basically tow ways of riding the camels in
wadi rum , the first is some one is lading the
camels by poling the rope and walking behind,
Second i is to have a mounted guide with you
we always prefer to offer the second one to our
clients. It is certainly a bit more expensive, since
the camel for the guide has to be taken into
account, but in our experience there is no
comparison in the enjoyment felt. With a mounted
guide, you go faster, you therefore cover much more
ground. |
