A connection that spans generations

As a bedouin, Mohamed shares that his people have worked with camels for generations and have a close bond with them.

Mohamed shows us how he makes a living by offering rides to tourists which can range from 10 minutes to 1 hour. However, his camels' well-being is important to him so he ensures they are never overworked and only those that are rested are taken for rides.

In this storyworld students can explore some stunning 360° scenes and soundscapes showing a camel ride through the desert and Mohamed's camp where he rests his camels.

"These camels that you raise from a young age, you know them, you understand them and they understand you"
