One of the stops along the way from Bukhara to Samarkand was a Yurt camp where we had the opportunity to go for a camel ride.

This is the first time we’ve come across the camels with two humps here in Central Asia. Now we can say that we’ve ridden both types. These camels were much more comfortable to ride and had a really nice demeanour.
