People don't realise just how stressful it is being a camel at the Giza Pyramids. All that posing for pictures, wondering which tourist will want to climb in your saddle, ambling across the desert so that people can take pretty pictures. It's a really tough life and sometimes a guy just has to lie down and sleep in the sun.

At least he's not dead, which was my first thought!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very smart camel.
ReplyDeleteGreat opportunity to see a camel's foot pads.
ReplyDeleteThis photo has everything in it to prove what you wrote. It's not the usual tranquil scene we get in the brochures.
I've never seen a camel lying down like that before. Very sweet photo.
