For centuries camel caravans were the main method of travel across the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. While some remain as working caravans most are now relegated to tourist attractions. Still there is something unforgettable about setting off across the Sahara in a camel caravan even if only for an hour. Desert camels were often nicknamed “ships of the desert“. They are known for their ability to traverse the desert landscape, carrying people and cargo, similar to ships on the sea. The rocking or swaying motion of a camel’s walk that may also contributes to this nickname.
