Why did they use camels to travel?
(don't have to read all of it)
The introduction of camels from North Africa helped develop trade on the Arabian Peninsula. These animals allowed a way of life that would not have been possible otherwise because of their unique physical features.The Arabian camel, or dromedary, has one hump on its back, where fat is stored. This allows the animal to survive when water and food are scarce. Thick fur protects camels from the heat, and wide feet keep them from sinking down too far into the sand. During swirling sandstorms, camels can close their nostrils to prevent sand from getting in. They have a third eyelid and rows of lashes to keep grains of sand out of their eyes.
