I’m not sure if camels groom each other as some animals do, but it sure looks like that’s what’s going on here. The one humped dromedary camels are native to Saudi Arabia. Their earthy coloring ranges from a creamy white to all shades of brown to almost black. These camels are perfectly suited to the Arabian desert climate. They don’t actually store water in their humps, as many people believe. In actuality, the hump is made of fatty tissue which can supply the camel with needed energy when food and water is scarce.

I am an American woman. I met my husband more than 30 years ago when we were both college students in Arizona. So after all that time in the states, my hubby desired to move back to his native home of Saudi Arabia. I've been in Jeddah now since October 2007. My new home is amazing: interesting, fascinating, and colorful. The people are warm, courteous and as interested in me as I am in them, however they highly regard their privacy. My camera goes with me every time I step out the door - I don't want to miss a thing!
