A caravan is/was a large groups of pack animals (camels, mostly) and traders, transporting goods from one place to another. They travelled from oasis to oasis usually by routes that made sure that camping out in a barren desert spot could be restricted to a minimum. Camels can drink over one hundred liters in one go, and go without water and very little food for weeks on end. For humans, horses and mules the caravan carried its own water and food.
