The sand dunes are difficult to climb and, in the daytime, the sun is bright and the temperatures are very high. You can travel for many days and weeks without finding any water or food. Long before cars, people used camels to cross the desert. Camels are ideal desert animals. They can carry heavy loads of up to 450 kilograms and they can walk for days without water. When they find water, they can drink up to 100 litres of water in ten minutes! Camels can eat almost any plant they find in the desert. Their milk is very good to drink and it is full of vitamins, so people travelling in the desert can drink the camel’s milk and stay healthy. Camels were used to bring packages of food and other supplies to faraway villages. Sometimes, camels were used by people who wanted to sell goods in different places. In more recent times, they carried equipment for building railways. Today, we have 4x4 vehicles which can travel over the sand, but cars sometimes break down in the hot temperatures. This can be very dangerous as you can be miles from a village with no transport! Camels can travel long distances to places which have no roads or railways to connect them to other towns. In Mali, in Africa, camels carry blocks of salt for 800 kilometres over high sand dunes to Timbuktu, where they are sold. In other places, camels take important medicines to desert villages. Life in the desert would be much more difficult without camels!
