We finally decided to venture out and find some camels. We have been in Bahrain for over three months and have not seen any yet. Since it was our first drive outside of our comfort zone, we decided to go somewhere that would be easy to find. Many roads are not clearly marked and most people go by landmarks. Instead of names, streets are numbered and very confusing. Good thing for us the camel farm is right off the road and hard to miss.
There must have been hundreds of camels. Some in the massive cages built for them and others just out in the open with their legs tied together (to keep them from running, I guess). Katie thought they were so cool but very stinky. She and Jacob got to get up close and pet one. We were led into a cage with three newborns and their mommies. They were so cute, but we did not get to ride on any of them. We were told that they used to allow rides, but the Prince of Bahrain got upset when he found out they were charging everyone, so he put a stop to it. Maybe next time...
