A beautiful morning in Wadi Rum is best enjoyed from atop one of the local Diseh camels. No previous experience riding camels? Not to worry! This simple tutorial, courtesy of Ms. Becky Neil, San Francisco, CA and Mr. Hussein Abdullah, Diseh, Jordan, should allay the fears of even the most reluctant of camel passengers, while inspiring the excitement of every camel enthusiast!
 |
| Step 1: Meet Hussein Abdullah and your camel steeds. Hussein will assist you as you mount. |
 |
| Step 2: Grip the knob at the front of the camel saddle (see Becky's left hand) and swing your leg over the saddle as though you were mounting a horse. |
 |
| Step 3: Hold on tight as the camel stands up - raising her back legs first. You are halfway there! |
 |
| Step 4: Whoops! There go the front legs - don't let go of that knob just yet! |
 |
Step 5: Smile for the camera as your stomach settles back into place... |
 |
... and you head off on your desert adventure! |
 |
Extra special camel riders will receive a special camel kiss upon completion of their journeys! |
