desert caravan
Sandy trade procession
A desert caravan is a group of travelers, pack animals, and goods crossing arid terrain together—historically camels bearing trade goods across the Sahara or Arabian Peninsula.
The formation provided safety in numbers, shared knowledge of water sources, and pooled resources for the harsh journey.
The desert caravan rested at the oasis before continuing toward Damascus.
