A few VT’ers have seen my Camel Crossing sign and thought it was a bit of a spoof. I can assure you it is not. There are quite a few desert/dry areas across the Middle East and Bedouins do cross empty roads from time to time. The main picture was taken on the Desert Highway, but the camel itself was taken on the King’s Highway. There was also a problem with dead camels. These things do drop dead from time to time and the Bedouins seem to leave them where they fall. I saw 2 in the road, one of which was right in the centre.
If you are on a long boring road do be vigilant. Hitting a camel would definitely damage your vehicle. Driving is challenging enough with lunatic drivers, but don’t forget about the animals.
