Dunes and Camels

The southern portion of our emirate gives way from rocks and wadis to sand dunes more common with the rest of UAE.

The previous post covered one of the areas where the 4x4 events are, although off-roading is everywhere here.

Also in this area is our camel track which is 5 kilometer loop.

This winter has been exceptionally wet and much of the desert has a green coating as a result.
When we drive to the top of the big dunes in the middle of the race track it gives an unusual view.

As usual the camels are not amused.

So odd to see green in your pictures from UAE. The camels likely don't get fresh food like this often in a lifetime.
