Abstract

The episode speaks about nomads, who move from one place to another in the desert on camel backs. Camels are also used for races, the desert inhabitants' hobby in the Arab region. Nomads are also part of the desert public security forces. As it is not easy to use cars, desert forces use camels, known for their resistance to hot climate, to move through the desert, assist people, solve problems between tribes and check the frontiers. To secure and assist tourists, the Nomads wear special uniforms, their camels are also decorated so as to show the special section they belong to, within the desert forces.
