The next morning after we camped in the Wadi Rum we got to take a camel trek back to the village. We thought we were only taking a 1 hour ride through the dessert and it ended up being a 2 hour ride. After about 30 minutes we started to realize that our Gringo Butts were not used to being bounced around for that long. 
Also not having any stirrups to put your legs in made them have to just dangle which didn't help with blood flow.
We were quick to discover that the one leg over technique helps to relieve one side of your rear end.
When the baby fell asleep after about an hour I realized that it was extremely hard to hold on to him and not get bounced off the camel.
(should have worn the baby pack)
Now that we have done it our consensus is that 30 minutes is about the max that anyone should sit in the saddle of a camel. But, we are so glad that we got to do it!
