This idiom means that when things are going wrong, people will abandon a failing situation or person to protect themselves. Just as rats would leave a ship that is sinking to save themselves.
This phrase is used to describe a situation where people are abandoning something or someone in trouble, just like rats fleeing a sinking ship. It implies that when things go wrong, individuals will quickly disassociate themselves from the situation to save themselves.
The camel being called the "ship of the desert" is a simile because it compares the camel's ability to navigate the desert to that of a ship at sea. It is not a metaphor because it uses "like" or "as" to make the comparison, and it is not an oxymoron because it does not contain contradictory terms.
