My/Our First Camel Ride!

Camel Ride, Taif, Saudi Arabia

As part of our day trip to Taif during spring break, my wife and I went for a camel ride.

Well, actually, I went for a camel ride, she went for a camel... stand??

She had to cut her camel ride short because an Abaya isn't exactly appropriate camel-riding attire. Plus, that camel was tall and the saddle was pretty unstable, so when it stood up or sat down, it felt like we were about to topple over.

So we dismounted and I remounted by myself. Then I went for a camel ride :)
