Dunes and Camels

The nature of the beast....

Sahara dunes in the other direction, late afternoon.

Rick walks on dunes in the Sahara.
The ride up here was timed for sunset.

Our train of camels heading into the dunes

Karen, mounted on her camel, takes a photo of someone else. We discovered that camels rise to their feet one end at a time. This is something that's good to know about. You should at least be holding on at the time.

A sufficient number of camels arrived to bear us up into the dunes from Erg Chebbi. Not all of them appeared to be particularly energetic.

This man handled my particular camel.
