Camel riding in Bab al Shams

In Bab al Shams, which is a hotel in the desert, I got to hold a falcon. It was very soft to stroke and it had a hood on its head so that it doesn't hurt you when people are holding it.

When it's getting fed they take the hood off and when I went closer the falcon kept swooping past me and flying over my head!

I also got to ride a camel. It was good fun to ride. We were high up and it was bumpy getting down, because first it lowers its front two legs so we were still high in the air and then it lowers its back legs.
