Leaving Remlia on our first morning on trek, guide Kristy and camel handler Hussein in the lead. There were five camels, and eleven of us, so we alternated between riding and walking alongside.

Hussein takes a break with Gerard and Baby Gerard (Gerard's son). Just this year, Hussein, who appeared to be somewhere between 60 and 100 years old, abandoned his sandals, and started wearing Adidas. Over the course of four days, he walked well over 60 miles.

A friend of Hussein appeared from nowhere, and helped with the camels (here, Maliki, Baby Gerard, and Gerard) on the last day of the trek.
