Old camel He is a natural storyteller; his voice is deep and rich. An old camel (scruffy around the edges) he’s been through a lot of sandstorms - in fact he’s seen it all. He was with a group of nomads before ending up in Egypt. He’s seen North Africa from the Sahara to Sinai, as well as the rest of the Middle East across the trade routes to Babylon and India. Shadi brings a wise and informed opinion to all that he sees.
