Each winter, camels lope around the moon-like desert landscape of the lowest place on Earth under the watchful eyes of their Bedouin Arab herders, in an ancient tradition passed from father to son over the generations. Ali El Guran brings his herd of more than 100 camels from southern Israel to the Dead Sea every November to pasture. But for three months a year, El Guran and the other herders live as their forefathers have for generations. El Guran sells some of the baby camels as well as camel milk to make a living. As winter comes to an end, the area gets very hot and the camels are taken to a higher elevation, where it’s cooler.
