Camels From Saudi Arabia

FINAL SALE - NON RETURNABLE

Imagine the deserts of Saudi Arabia. The windswept sand dunes. The sculptural rock formations. And in the distance, a camel, standing boldly in the sun’s rays. Camels, and more specifically the dromedary, or one-humped camel, is an icon of the Arabian landscape. Throughout Saudi Arabia’s history, the camel has been represented in poetry, art and legends.

Camels from Saudi Arabia bridges the gap between the past and present through a celebration of this magnificent creature, and features original photography by Oliver Pilcher.
