Desert caravans

Desert caravans are groups of travelers and their pack animals, such as camels or donkeys, that journey across desert regions. Historically, they served as vital means for transporting goods, people, and information through harsh landscapes where resources like water are scarce. Caravans typically travel in groups for safety against bandits and the elements, relying on local knowledge of trade routes. They played a crucial role in trade between cities and cultures, facilitating the exchange of spices, textiles, and other valuable commodities, and contributing to the spread of ideas and technologies across vast distances.
