This is Josephine the camel and her handler - they're at the Friday bazaar and you pay to take a picture of her, a picture of her with you, or a picture of you riding her. I paid just for the picture of her, but he did get kind of mad I took more than one shot...

Really like the combination of the expressions on the camel's and man's faces. [Years ago I was in Saudi Arabia, and they had many similar camel deals as you describe here.]

Lovely set of photos. I've always wished to go there and some nearby places. But early on went to China instead and have never achieved many of my traveling desires. China is a large part of the world to bite off and digest, so-to-speak. Hence, I ended up working there and having links there rather than in other exotic destinations. Good work indeed.

Very nice shot. You must be one of those ugly Americans for taking too many pictures.

I was wondering if he was actually trying to sell the camel; but I guess it would be hard for the US soldiers to pack camels in their backpacks.. ;-Þ.

These are cool... they have little fellas like this in Syria as well... I had to ride a camel myself... just needed to be done. Throw a little more contrast on this and I think you'll have a winner.
