Then, as if plucked from a mirage, a camel racing track stretched before us—hundreds of camels in motion, timeless and surreal. His flawless English and calm command of the journey gave it rhythm and meaning. More than a guide, Abdul choreographed an experience that was poetic, profound, and utterly original.”
