Did a major touristy thing this evening - riding a camel 2 miles into desert to huge dunes to watch the sunset in Pakistan (28 miles to the west). Top pic is of me & my steed. Bottom pic is of my camel snoozing - he assumed this position immediately after I dismounted!? He is NOT dead!
I was surprised at the # of people (& camels) on the dunes - I would estimate close to 100 <- most were Indians who believe it is good luck to watch sunset in the desert.
FYI - camels aren't very friendly, the ride was smooth, & staying seated while camel is getting up & down takes some skillful balancing.
