Camel Train
While not the luxurious of travel accomodations, it is the most common and efficient way to traverse all of Central Libynos. Even local travel from town to town around the kingdom is more often by camel then by horse.
The Great Sand Sea also formally known as the Western Maghib desert and the Eastern Maghib desert make any land travel difficult. Their combined size leaves little room for other travel options. Camel trains are more efficient in travel time compared to ship travel, navigating Khemit by ocean or river; roughly 20% faster with a healthy team of camels. Plus some places aren't connected by water ways. Because of the time saved, it is a common sight to see camel trains crossing along ancient trade routes with goods piled high on the camels' backs.
Caravans are available for hire to take passengers to various desert towns along preplanned routes. This is the safest for the inexperienced traveller as the train of camels are already roped together with a guide in the lead and one or two others for security in the rear. All you have to do is relax in the jostling sway of the camel's gait. Merchants camel trains travel with a dozen or more camels connected by ropes in a long line. They fly colorful banners above the stacks of cargo as they approach civilization to announce their arrival and get a proper greeting.
