General Tips: Camels
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Favorite Thing: I am fascinated by camels. They look so ungainly and supercilious. They are said to be capable of being mean or bad tempered. But there is something romantic about a herd of camels walking through the desert. Sudan was known, still is probably, for the camel caravans that took 40 days to reach Cairo carrying trade goods. The camels used a well marked route called the Darb el Arbain -the 40 days route.
    Apparently in the Western Omdurman Desert , 50 km west of Omdurman overnight camping trips can be arranged.
    In Kordofan camels are still a common means of transport, and after the rainy season when pasture is available the camels are fit and healthy.

     Looks bare and depressing to me, especially the hotel but your pictures are nice. Loved the camels with their heads up and so graceful.

     Those barren areas usually attract me, donīt ask me why...
