Why can camels run in desert easily?
Camels have broad, flat, leathery pads with two toes on each foot. When the camel places its foot on the ground the pads spread, preventing the foot from sinking into the sand. When walking, the camel moves both feet on one side of its body, then both feet on the other. This gait suggests the rolling motion of a boat, explaining the camel's "ship of the desert" nickname.

Why a camel can easily walk on the desert but a horse cannot?
The camels ability to walk easily in the desert compared to a horse has to do with it's foot structure. A camel has a very big foot in comparison to a horses hoof. The size of the foot allows the camels greater weight to be more evenly distributed over the ground, which keeps it from sinking. In the past Bedouins would reserve their Arabian horses for short sprints or battles over relatively stable sands. The camel was used for long distance transport.
