Well first of all the ship of the desert is the camel. It is called that because it acts like a ship when it carries stuff across the desert.

The horse has some serious limitations in deserts.

  1. Not being equipped with the large feet of a camel it often bogs down.
  2. Without special lips, ears and eyes it is very vulnerable to a sandstorm
  3. Not having the camel's huge water capacity, its range is rather limited.

Before the invention of motor vehicles, long distance travel for man across a desert was only possible using a camel.
