You may have spotted the Google Streetview car once or twice when it was snapping pictures around Ireland.

What with Google intent on mapping and photographing almost every part of the world - you can even Streetview Antarctica - they've now set their sights on the desert.

Specifically, the Liwa Oasis in Abu Dhabi. A camel named Raffia is being led across the desert with a camera mounted, we guess, to his hump.

The camel will take in a 100-kilometer area of desert and, we're guessing, stop to take a drink somewhere in the oasis.

Because that's what they are, right? Water in the desert? If you've been in the desert, let us know.
