Camels fit into the desert like sneakers on a sports field.

They have wide feet equipped with fat pads, allowing them not to sink quickly. They possess particularly long eyelashes and furry ears to fend off sand during storms.

They can endure 25 days without water while losing 40% of their body weight, which is nearly unimaginable for us humans.... and they are extraordinarily curious.

For a caravan leader, it was crucial to know the water resources, as well as the stars, and to monitor the health of the animals. Camels had not only a transport function, but they also provided milk, wool, and ultimately meat. Particularly, the camel hump, which is rich in fat, is a delicacy. Camels can live up to 60 years.

In Saudi Arabia, dromedaries, the one-humped camels, are very large, come in various colors, and are traded at the camel market as racing camels, reaching 60 km/h depending on age and condition, or beauty camels.

Female sand noses become pregnant every three years, with a gestation period of 12 to 14 months. Males have much stockier legs than females.

The desert racers play an important role in the life of the Arabs. They are inherited and bred, and just like our horses, with colors like gray, chestnut, or black, they have specialized names for their color variations. Al-Amlah are deep black and Waddah are light to white camels.

The majestic gaze comes from the fact that the camel is the only being that knows the hundredth name of Allah, and it is regarded as a sacred, intelligent animal especially in Arabia.

Thank you very much for the wonderful time, it was a lot of fun to travel with you.... and Sophie, thank you for your clarity in explaining complex interrelations simply, getting to the point, and translating, which I believe shows competence and giftedness.
