Desert





The desert in Arabia is very hot & dry. Camels have adapted to this weather and are able to go without water for numerous days at a time. The camels store the water that they have in their humps and often travel for days without food or water. The desert rarely experiences rain and when there is rain it produces very little. The people that go here wear very specific clothing to keep cool. This clothing consists of: light colors, loose fitting, and usually something to cover your head so that when the wind picks up, sand does not get in your eyes. The temperature in the desert can rise extremely quickly and then drop very quickly at night.
