We didn't know the road very well and ended up taking a wrong turn. The wrong turn lead us off the paved road on to a hard sandy road. Oh no...Where were we going ? Then the next question always is, "will we get stuck in the sand" ? Sometimes it is so easy to get lost in Dubai!
Only sand, more sand and shrubs in sight - nothing else, until we rounded a corner and saw a cluster of palm trees, a small oasis of water and plants, but more important lots of camels. The camels surrounded the small watering hole like they had never seen water before, frolicking, splashing, running back and forth across the water. It was a real live camel water party.
When we stopped our car and rolled down the windows to take pictures of the camels, they all stopped their frolicking, dead in their tracks. All of the camels turned to look at us, as if they were annoyed, upset, that we would stop and disturb their tranquil place, their camel oasis.
Okay, we got the message, only camels are invited. We will leave you to your fun.
As we drove away, the frolicking, splashing, running back and forth in the water started up again. The camels were just like little kids running through sprinklers and playing in the water. It was so fun to witness!
What a great picture and pleasure to witness - camels, by a small watering hole and palms. It was not a mirage but clearly a oasis, a camel water park.
We each decided it was a lucky wrong turn on to the sandy road and we got a chance to witness a real live camel water party. Lucky us !!
