Ride a ‘ship of the desert’ on the beach in Penang

Fun on the sand: Kylie Goh, 12, and Dylan Goh, eight, astride a camel at Batu Ferringhi beach in Penang.

GEORGE TOWN: You don’t have to go to a desert in northern Africa or the Middle East to experience a camel ride anymore.

Just drop by at the popular tourist belt in Batu Ferringhi and there’s a camel to take you for a ride along the beach.
