The east African country of Djibouti finds favor with adventure minded travelers and tourists. The Djibouti camel caravan is a unique sight for travelers in the desert.
The Djibouti camel caravan crisscrosses the east African country. There are regular camel caravans in Djibouti that travel from one Djibouti city to another. The camel caravans of Djibouti fulfill economic needs. A number of materials are transported from Djibouti port to other destinations in the country by camel transport. The list of transported goods includes textiles, packaged food items and fast moving consumer goods among many others. The Djibouti camel caravans usually travel in a line and share resources while traversing the desert sands. Some camel caravans are used for tourism also.
The Djibouti camel caravans are made up of Arabian Dromedary camels. The animals are preferred for their inherent resistive qualities to the hostile desert climate. The mean temperature in the desert is approximately 41° centigrade during the daytime. Nights are also equally warm-temperatures are still very high at approximately 35° Centigrade. The high temperatures make standard motor vehicles inoperable in the desert. The low economic resources of Djibouti make its camel caravans an essential component of trade. The milk of the desert camel finds wide acceptance as a drink.
