The herd of camels in the picture below had paraded along the beach of the resort we were staying at and then stopped to graze in an area just off the premises. This camel broke away from the group and decided to check out the hotel guests. The handler caught up with it and brought it back to its friends, and then demanded money from me for taking pictures of his camels! I realized later maybe the whole parade of camels was staged deliberately for hotel guests, which I guess is OK because I think most of them never left the beach to see anything of Salalah or Oman, but still, the money thing irritated me.
