Yesterday I was showing some visitors from SF around Bahrain, and we went to the Camel Farm a few Kms from my house...

We were in the enclosure with the females, juveniles and babies, as they are very tame and calm. The male camels are much more agressive, so are kept in a separate enclosure and are hobbled (roped around their front legs) so they can't run too fast.

This friendly lady followed us around, and absolutely LOVED scritchies, as well as having her photo taken!


One day old baby with Mommy. He was trying hard to stand up, but his wobbly little legs would not work properly!


Three day-old baby with Mommy - still not too sure of his footing, but determined to stay close to Mommy when she went out to feed with the rest of the herd.


These ones were around 6 to 7 months old, and were SO friendly.


The awesome thing about the farm is that it is a fully-functional farm and is not the least bit commercialised, but visitors are welcome, so you get to go right in and interact with the camels. It was an amazing experience.


SO..... who is coming to visit us here in Bahrain???
