The outskirts of Riyadh is home to one of the largest camel markets in the Middle East. Spread out over several acres there are camels in every color and size, hay and stalls as far as the eye can see. They are available for purchase as food, as assets or as pets. The next few days posts will feature different pictures taken at the camel souk.
There is a warren of camel pens on one side of the road and it is fairly common to see camels run off and being chased by the herders.
Come back! Come back! The camel shepherd left in the dust…literally

wouldn’t want to step out as a road block in front of a “rampaging” camel
Chiara: Glad you’re enjoying the posts
Cookie Monster: Do you know how camels are herded? With TRUCKS!! I have a video of that- maybe it will become a post one of these days
