A3 We were amazed at the cactus we found when we visited the desert in the Saguaro National Park in Tucson. https://t.co/NvcpveeO2n #TRLT @TheTravelCamel @JLipowski @SaguaroNPS @charlesmccool

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool #TRLT Q3: So these little tiny purplish flowers start growing in March and give the desert a beautiful hue. They're called Tarbeh by the bedouin. (Mid-March to early May are best times to see wildflowers in Wadi Rum). Camels like to eat these.

My daughter loved watching the little scarab beetles - the only creatures we found wandering with us in #WadiRum

A2 hiking, to explore the arid landscape of a desert fascinates.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A1: I love sand dunes and any place with powdery, sugary consistency. Recently visited Portugal for the very first time and I'm impressed by the pristine beaches and long stretches. This is North of Porto. Could be Australia, right? #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool A3. Plants/trees in the desert are a rare sight but they soothe you when spotted. I like date palm and cactus.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool A3) One of the most popular plants here in the Mojave Desert is a Joshua Tree which grows only at certain elevations throughout the region. #TRLT

A3 Very little grows in Uzbekistan’s deserts but there are a few plant species well adapted to the dry climate. They help trap moisture & hold the soil together. They’re a vital part of the ecosystem. #trlt
