Google has gone to some crazy places in the name of capturing environments for Street View — including underwater at The Great Barrier Reef and ancient temples in Cambodia.

In its latest display of adventurous trekking, Google strapped a Street View camera to a camel’s back as it walked through the Liwa Desert in the United Arab Emirates.

The desert’s endless, golden sands juxtaposed with the blue sky is truly beautiful, and lets you feel like you’re really exploring the Arabian desert.

Google made a video of the process.

First, we meet the travelers:
