Camel track — Bin Dalmook said the camel trek is a celebration of “the UAE’s 49th National Day and a fitting tribute to the UAE’s glorious history. It is also a travel back in time as the camel riders are living a nomadic life, deprived of modern technology and are relying on their camels — the so-called ships of the desert — to cross the vast expanse of the UAE desert.” Image Credit: Pics supplied by HHC

After keeping their individual tents and finishing a traditional Emirati breakfast, they feed their camels and prepare the saddle before embarking on a 50-km daily desert journey. “Everyone in the group has a task and they are doing their duties very well,” according to HHC. From Liwa, the convoy has already passed through the following areas: Wasit, Al Khais, Arabian Oryx Sanctuary - Al Janai, Umm Al Anz, Bu Qurain North of Razeen, the forests of Al Haffar, Al-Ajban and Saih Al-Salam.
