Camel Ride

When someone comes to Doha to visit what do you think is the first thing on their "to do" list, why a camel ride in the desert! Everyone needs to go home and say they have had a camel ride in the Middle Eastern desert!! So of course we had to take my mom out to the Sealine Beach area to get her on a camel!! We also spent some time down by the beach so she could see the Persian Gulf up close and put her hands in the water!!

Mom and Nathan ready to ride!


Hold on tight!!

Close ups!



As you can see camels go down front legs first so you have to hold on tight or you could fall off!! It sure feels like you are going to tip forward. They go up the same way too!


Wheww we are almost down.


And we made it off, at least Hannah and I did, now it's Mom and Nathan's turn!


The camel riders posing with the camels!


Of course we had to get Madison on a camel, this is after all her birth place!


Some camel close up pics!



The care taker!


Madison and I standing in front of the Persian Gulf. We are trying to capture as many places as we can on camera so one day we can show our sweet princess where she was born.

Needless to say Nathan rode home in no pants!!
