And if you know camels, then you know how unruly they can be when you want them to do just about anything. Knowing they’re about as obedient as a smartmouth teenager makes this parade of artsy-fartsy camels that much more amazing.

Before the advent of modern motor vehicles the survival of the people of this region depended on the “ship of the desert” the camel. The camels of this region are famous for their endurance as well as their strength and beauty. So to celebrate them, thousands of excited tourists and local people cheer this man and beast affair organized especially, for promoting the camel breeders of the region and to revive the age old traditions of taming and training camels.
