Camping in the Desert

We drove into the desert to look for some camels.

Sand...lots of sand.

and oil pipelines.







The roads were surprisingly good and there were many signs warning of drifting sand.
















This guy was keeping his herd of sheep off the road.
















This guy was shaggy!










We saw many, many camels. Most were grazing, but we saw some walking and even saw some running!

































This is a mom and baby camel. I wish we could have been a little closer!




This White Camel is very valuable.

The Kuwaiti people camp out in the desert in the spring when the weather is mild. There are tents everywhere as far as the eye can see. Here are a couple of shots.
