GENERAL RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

         The camel is a lovely and tame animal, however, certain care must be taken and instructions observed to make your ride as comfortable and safe as possible.
          

• When mounting the camel lean back and make sure you are comfortable in your saddle.
• Hang your backpack on the saddle knob.
• When the camel stands up or sits down, lean back again and hold the reins (mori) tightly.
• Always hold the reins when riding, as you will be rocked gently back and forth.
• When turning right pull the right rein gently into the right direction, when turning left pull the left one to the left.
• For galloping pull both reins together slowly and give the camel a slight kick on both sides with your legs.
• To make the camel stop pull both reins backward quickly.
• To make the camel sit down pull both reins and mouth the word "Jhu Jhu".
• To get it walking again just pull the reins up again.

          Should you wish to receive a demonstration of the above before the start of the trip, please just ask our trained drivers. Never provoke a camel or give it any sort of food!

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU

• A hat, cap or turban
