Editing Camel train (section)

== Cultural associations==
"In the Desert" ("Верблюды", literally 'Camels') is a "traditional Russian" song, performed by [[Donald Swann]]. He provides an English-language translation after every line. The song is extremely repetitive ("Another camel is approaching"), rendering the translation largely redundant, "a whole caravan of camels is approaching".<ref>Flanders and Swann, "[http://www.allmusic.com/album/flanders-amp-swann-at-the-drop-of-another-hat-mw0001321681 At the Drop of Another Hat]" (1964)</ref>

[[Fritz Mühlenweg]] wrote a book called ''In geheimer Mission durch die Wüste Gobi'' (part one in English ''Big Tiger and Compass Mountain''), published in 1950. It was later shortened and translated into English under the title ''Big Tiger and Christian''; it concerns the adventures of two boys who cross the [[Gobi Desert]].
