Gate to the desert

by Robert_Hun - last update: Jan 3, 2005

Our caravan in the Tunisian desert

Camel-riding 1

Sorry, it was almost 6 years ago, so I don't remember the city itself, only the desert and the camels... :-)
I traveled with a group of cca. 20 people. We stopped at a "camel center" (a tent) where we got the "accessories": a wrap and a kerchief (turban? - I cannot remember the exact name).

Camel-riding 2

I got a relatively young camel which was quite meek, so I did not have any problem to ride it.
(The most challanging part is usually to get on and off but some people had difficulties to remain seated, too :-))

Camel-riding 3

We went in a caravan conducted by local pedestrian guides. It was a big fun but I feel a bit ashamed because, European (Hungarian!) as I am, I have never ridden a horse though! :-)

Pros:"Great scene, big fun, romantic"
Cons:"Very hot, could be a bit nauseating as the camel moves"
In A Nutshell:"A "must have" experience"
