Google has taken its street view concept off the streets and into the Arabian Desert and they're using a unique method of capturing some breathtaking images.

The Mountain View company enlisted the help of a camel to map the Liwa Desert located in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

The area is one of the most expansive stretches of sand in the world.

The Liwa Oasis dates back to the late Stone Age, making it one of the oldest sites in the United Arab Emirates.
