## What is Desert Caravan?

Lead camel caravans across the old trade routes and grow a small stall in Cairo into a trading house that reaches Samarkand.

Desert Caravan is an idle trading game. Send caravans between oasis cities, sell their goods, and spend your gold on more camels, faster trips and better deals. Hire a guide and a route runs on its own, so your caravans keep trading even while the app is closed.

EIGHT CITIES, EIGHT GOODS
• Cairo dates, Alexandria cotton, Petra incense and Damascus glass
• Baghdad spices, Muscat pearls, Marrakesh leather and Samarkand silk
• Each city opens a new route with richer goods and longer journeys

BUILD YOUR CARAVANS
• Buy camels to carry more cargo, with bonus rewards at 25, 50, 100 and 200 camels
• Upgrade water skins for faster trips and trade deals for better prices
• Buy one at a time, ten at once, or as many as you can afford

HIRE GUIDES
• A guide runs a route on repeat, so you never have to tap Send again
• Guided routes keep earning for up to 8 hours while you are away
• Come back to a welcome-back haul of everything your caravans made

LIFE ON THE ROAD
• Sandstorms close a route for a while
• Rich merchants pay double for your next three loads
• Lost camels wander across the map; tap one for a bonus
• Open a chest every day for extra gold

A NEW TRADING HOUSE
• Reach Samarkand, then start a new trading house
• Keep your reputation, and each point adds 2% to all your income forever

FAIR AND OPTIONAL
• Ads only play when you choose one, for boosts and bonuses
• The Royal Charter is a single purchase that removes ad offers for good, doubles your income forever and gives you every ad reward automatically

No account and no sign-in. Your progress stays on your device. Short sessions, a few times a day, with the desert waiting for you in between.
