Twenty-nine camel trekkers complete epic journey to Expo 2020 Dubai – The National

A group of adventurers on camels who braved the desert heat in a test of teamwork and stamina were cheered and applauded at the end of their 13-day journey in Dubai on Tuesday.

The 29 camel trekkers travelled 640 kilometres across the UAE’s deserts from Liwa’s Empty Quarter in Abu Dhabi and were given a warm welcome at Dubai’s Expo 2020 site.

This is the eighth edition of the camel trek organised by the Hamdan bin Mohammed Heritage Centre that invites explorers annually on a unique journey across the sands.
