The camel is known as the 'ship of the deserts' because it used to be the only means of transportation when there was no vehicle to move around the desert. Only camels can walk through the sandy desert without difficulty.

A camel can survive and thrive in the hot desert without getting exhausted or dehydrated. It has the physical advantages that have made it possible for the camel to travel on the desert for hours carrying people on its back.

The camel has a hump that contains water, it has long legs that are useful too, and the hooves prevent the camel from the heat of the sand.

Answer:

Camels are the only mean of natural transport on deserts.Camels are called ships of the desert because they carry very big loads from one side of the desert to the other. Dromedary camels can carry over two hundred kilograms on their backs. Camels walk four kilometers per hour through the hot desert. They can go like this for three weeks without water!
