Camels were called the ships of the desert because they were able to transport people across deserts efficently, without using up too much water on the journey.

When you are riding on the back of a camel the motion is rolling and you lurch from side to side and the feeling is like being seasick and this could be a reason why the camel is called "the ship of the desert". Another reason is that the camel can carry a large amount of cargo.
