The King's Camels

After the the grand mosque we went to the King's camels and farm land.  He owns a ton of land with lots of date trees on it and I guess he receives camels as gifts.  He has over 600 camels!  You would think people could be a little more original ;)  Here are some pictures of the camels and how they live.  The males are chained up individually and the females are in the pens.  I didn't touch one but one came really close to my face and freaked me out because I was looking at another camel through my camera ha ha. 
 Boy camels are below :)





 A camel getting up.  They push their hind legs up first and then straighten up their front legs.  It looks like they are about to go head first into the ground!

 This camel looks like he has freckles :)



 A picture with the camel!!!  I was so excited!
