camel caravan
Saharan trading procession
A camel caravan is a group of camels traveling together, typically through desert terrain, carrying goods or people.
Caravans were the primary means of long-distance trade across the Sahara and along the Silk Road for centuries: The camel caravan crossed the dunes at dawn.
The phrase evokes images of ancient commerce and desert journeys.
