Last weekend we went to go visit the Riyadh Camel Souq. We saw 4 different types of camels and ended our tour with a camel ride.
The bus picked us up at the hospital bus stop and I met a few new friends from Australia, England & Spain. We drove about 30 minutes until we got to the Souq. There were so many farms that had adult & baby camels.

| These are used to hold either camel poop or hold the udders up. I also learned that sometimes camel herders often sleep under the camel...they pitch a hammock and so that they don't get pooped/urinated on, they cover those camel parts with these sacks! |

| Saudi women make handicrafts that are placed on camels and are available to be purchased by locals & tourists like us! |

| Goodbye camels! |
