Israeli QS:

Another impact on Zerzura was the cuisine of Israel. To represent this, guests can find a small QS located just outside the main area of the land and in the Oasis. This QS, called "The Turquoise Cafe" (named after the bright turquoise colours of the Mediterranean Sea) is styled after a street food vendor with seating options on the side to allow guests great views of the Oasis/ rest of the park.

The dining options at The Turquoise Cafe consists of many smaller, handheld dining options such as Stuffed Vine Leaves, a turkey schnitzel sandwich on a pretzel bun, and of course, falafel (about as close you can get to a national dish without being an official national dish). This little QS give guests a little taste of the Mediterranean while enjoying a slice of relaxation just outside The Lost City.

So I have the camel peoplemover complete. I'm going to try to draw up the design of the camel vehicle so that it makes more sense, but if I don't get to that, as I have a prior engagement tonight, hopefully the description is clear enough​

Zerzura Caravan ​
When facing it from the lakefront, towards the right side of the land is the Zerzura Caravan, a peoplemover-style attraction with a twist. Rather than riding in the train of tomorrow, guests can travel the way the people of Zerzura and Saharan Africa/Arabia have for millennia: camelback.

Guests may board their camel and traverse around the city of Zerzura, taking in the sights of the marketplace, wandering past the Sultan’s Garden of Wings to see the birds from a unique view or even traversing through the swampy riverside where you may get to get a glimpse of a Nile Crocodile or two.

The camels will be built similar to a real camel, featuring a hump covered in a saddle blanket, while the stop features the seats. The seats are built into the vehicle but are made to appear to look like you are riding atop a camel, so the back seats are up slightly higher than those in the front. Unlike a real camel that may comfortably hold two people maximum, these “mechamels” feature seating for four to five people.

To make the camels appear like they are walking, their legs are hooked up to mechanical arms that move them as they move along the track, but they are not attached to anything. There is a barrier around all of the tracks (made to look like piled up sand) that obscures the camels’ feet, while underneath a base with wheels follows the track itself. This makes it easier and smoother to move while still giving the illusion of the camels walking.

Each camel is a part of a caravan that serves as a train. Each of the bases is connected to six different trains, giving each train a capacity of 24-30 people. Because the camels are continually moving (as it is a peoplemover system), this keeps the caravans continuously loading and unloading.

To prevent guests from crossing the camels’ path in the multiple parts where the ride and the paths intersect, the caravans climb up a hill of sorts onto a dune that guests walk underneath, giving an interesting perspective of the land.

The attraction duration is around 10-12 minutes and offers unique views and perspectives of everything Zerzura has to offer. There is no narration, but hidden in the camels, there are speakers that play Arabic instrumental music bringing the feel of traversing the desert even closer to life.
