Camel pictures, Bedwin pictures, Bedouin photos, Egypt Pictures

Riding camels along the coast at sunset is a memorable experience. It offers a brief immersion into the Bedwin culture, which is much diffferent than the Arabic culture in the rest of Egypt. This trip started at the Blue Hole dive site, about 30 minutes drive outside of Dahab. Note: I use "bedwin" and not "bedouin" because translation between scripts is not standard and "bedwin" better conveys the correct pronounciation.
