Thinking about spending Christmas in Morocco? The Morocco travel team at Journey Beyond Travel caught Santa Claus riding camels in Morocco’s Sahara Desert and thought this was a sight worth sharing!

Here’s our top reasons why Santa Claus may wish to re-think his Christmas delivery strategy – using camels instead of reindeer this year!

1. Camels are cuter!

2. Santa can go overland instead of getting air sick!

3. No need for a sleigh, camels can carry everything!

4. The sand dunes of the Sahara offer all the fun without the cold!

5. Mrs. Claus can get some sun while Santa works!
