The Sahara Desert is home to two species of camels: the dromedary camel (also known as the Arabian camel) and the Bactrian camel.

The dromedary camel is the most common type of camel found in the Sahara. It has a single hump and is well adapted to the harsh desert conditions, able to survive for weeks without water. The dromedary camel has been domesticated for thousands of years and is used by people throughout the Middle East and North Africa for transportation, milk, and meat.

The Bactrian camel, on the other hand, is a rare sight in the Sahara. It is native to the steppes of Central Asia, but can also be found in the Gobi Desert and the deserts of northern China. Unlike the dromedary camel, the Bactrian camel has two humps and is better suited to colder environments.
