This weekend I went on an overnight camel safari (a much needed break from the chaos and confusion of my work).  We first took an hour jeep ride down a bumpy road, traveling so fast I was holding on for dear life in case we hit a bump and I slipped out the open back.  There were no speed limits, so I guess we weren't breaking any laws.  It took about two hours then by camel to reach the dunes, where the camel drivers set up camp for us, basically just blankets, but they cooked us an amazing meal, made a 'camel beer run' in the middle of the night for us, and woke us with fresh chai at sunrise, so I have no complaints.  I was the lucky one on the fast camel, so my driver took me on a special route and we ended up splitting a watermelon that grows in the desert, a luscious surprise and wonderful thirst quencher while trekking on a camel in the desert heat.
