Camel Treks - Extended
To ride a camel you need comfortable baggy clothes and, for extended treks, a good pair walking shoes. It can be warm and sunny during the day but, autumn through to late spring, temperatures drop at sundown when you need warm clothes e.g. layers, fleece and a wind-proof jacket.
Blankets are provided but, for your comfort, we recommend a sleeping bag liner in summer and a sleeping bag for autumn through to late spring.
REMEMBER your rubbish - carry out what you carry in.
Camels carry your luggage - soft bags are essential and two small bags is better than one large one.
