- "Never did like camels: filthy buggers, they smell, they bite, they spit. Disgusting."
- ―Jonathan Carnahan about camels[src]
Camels are large four-footed mammals that are used in expeditions and caravans in the Sahara to carry goods and travellers.
Camels were used by expeditions seeking ruins in Egypt and merchants in Cairo. As camels can endure sun, deserts, heavy loads and heat, they were often utilised by the French Foreign Legion, as one particular garrison made its way to the lost City of the Dead, Hamunaptra, but as the men in the garrison were almost completely wiped out, their camels stood waiting for their masters to return. Camels could be purchased from vendors in outposts for a nominal price.
The Akkadian warrior Mathayus was known to ride an albino camel.
