Camels have
forever been the friends of the desert, as much now as when they were
used by our forefathers who made the Wadi Rum their home. Camels have
been used by people as far back as the Nabateinean and the Thamudic (300
BC ) . Although both camels and horses were used by the Bedouins, the
camels were the more useful. This is because the camel can survive 2 to
3 weeks without drinking water. The camel can also walk very easily in
the soft sand of the desert. And the camel can carry a great load,
across great distances, in both hot and cold weather. For all of these
reasons it was the camel that was most prized by our forefathers and on
which they relied. To travel was the Bedouin way of life. It was for
this reason the Bedouin gave the camels their name: the ship of the
desert.
