  1. Come Have Dessert in the Desert Camel Travel Inc.

  2. If you come to the desert you will see… • Rolling sand as far as the eye can see • High temperature without the worry of having your day ruined by perception • The lack of small, tough, wiry plants will not get in the way of animal sightings

  3. Voluptuous Weather

  4. Seasonal Information If you want to visit the desert, spring and fall are the ideal times to visit. In the Mojave desert, temperatures can be very cold in the winter and over 100 degrees in the summer. Almost all desert animals stay out of there is little sun during the hottest part of the day. Most animals come out in night. There little seasonal differences for viewing wildlife

  5. Unique Features! • Little water and vegetation to sustain life • Deserts cover 1/5 of the earth’s land surfaces • Most hot and dry deserts are near the tropic of cancer or the tropic of Capricorn • The only animals that live in the dessert have the ability to bury under ground

  6. Plants and Animals • Small, tough, wiry plants and animals that can bury when the sun is at its hottest • Short grasses can be found in almost all deserts • Desert plants include Sagebrush, Creosote bushes, and Cacti

  7. Check out the adaption of Cacti! • If you stay in the desert long enough you’ll be able to store water too! Just like a Cactus! • Storing water is an adaption Cacti utilize to survive in the dry climate of the desert • Disclaimer: If you stay in the dessert long enough you will not be able to store water like a cactis

  8. Check out the adaption of Animals! • The huge ears of the Jackrabbit help keep it cool because the ears give the rabbit more surface area to release heat off the top of their heads

  9. Tourism! • If you stay in the desert long enough without water for hydration you could start seeing pretty neat mirages! • Camel rides  • Awesome sandcastle building opportunities 

  10. Environmental Issues  • Climate is very hot and dry which makes it hard for people, plants and animals to live in the desert • It is very hard for the desert biome to recover from environmental damage because the desert has a slow rate of growth causing the soil to be very fragile and have little resiliance
