why camel is called the ship of the desert

Camels are known as ships of the desert because they can move across desert sands easily providing a mode of transportation for people in desert areas. They can eat almost anything and drink from waterholes that are bitter or saline. Also ,In the daytime, when the sun is high, the eyes do not allow excessive light in. Glands supply the eyes with a great deal of water to keep them moist. Thick eyebrows shield the eyes from the desert sun.
