Khor Rouri, bathing camels

We drove to Khor Rouri, which hosts the Sumhuram Archeological Site, where a thriving center of the frankincense trade was located 2,000 years ago. The ruins were interesting, but the museum was closed (“no electricity” said the guards). The estuary, however, was beautiful, and it appeared that these camels liked it as well. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a camel in water!

Such a different landscape - and neat to see the camels pretending to be elephants - lovely V

An unusual scene indeed.And I guess the camels probably like to cool down int the water. V

Surprising to see so much water, and the camels in it are also a surprise. An image not expected from that part of the world. V

No, I probably thought camels never went into water! Lovely picture, Helen., and most interesting. V

Wonderful, wonderful…why go back? The camels we saw in Northern Kenya were certainly enjoying a river; somewhat more than we were as some idiot had come on the safari with a VW beetle despite all warnings
