camel riding
Saharan travel method
Camel riding is the activity of sitting astride a camel as it walks, typically for transportation, tourism, or recreation.
In desert regions, camels have served as primary mounts for centuries.
Today camel riding is most often a tourist attraction: We went camel riding near the pyramids.
The gait takes getting used to—camels sway dramatically as they walk.
