I love Smithsonian Museums. Too many people think it’s just the one. I’ve not been to this one and really need to explore our Nation’s capitol more. It’s been far too long. This one looks fab.

How very different. Amazing rock formations! . Barrah Siq seems like a huge protective wall, quite impressive. I imagine being surrounded by these humungous rocks would make you feel quite insignificant. The galloping camels must have been quite an experience.

@Luly, it was sort of uncomfortable to be honest. For me, it was the handle on the back of the saddle that you have available to hold on to – it kept hitting my lower back! But I am sure, like many things, it is about getting used to good posture. They can gallop and it was both scary and fun when they did – but only when controlled by the camel guide. Without the guide it would be scary because I wouldn’t know how to tell the camel to stop! Otherwise, they were just like walking. Great questions!

Thanks for sharing those amazing pictures. Was the camel ride comfortable? Like riding a horse? How fast do they go?

@Fiona, I was really not expecting such colorful camels either. 19 was even more beautiful in person!

@LT, yes, I liked the colors of the scarves and the hair. These were schoolgirls on a school trip to this site. There were tons of schoolgroups there and they were very lively singing songs and laughing.
