Camels with a howdah[*], by Émile Rouergue, 1855[*]A howdah, or houdah (Hindi: हौदा haudā), derived from the Arabic هودج (hawdaj), that means "bed carried by a camel", also known as hathi howdah (हाथी हौदा), is a carriage which is positioned on the back of an elephant, or occasionally some other animal such as a camel, used most often in the past to carry wealthy people or for use in hunting or warfare. It was also a symbol of wealth for the owner and as a result was decorated with expensive gemstones.

[1] A caravanserai (or caravansary; /kærəˈvænsəˌraɪ/)[1] was a roadside inn where travelers (caravaners) could rest and recover from the day's journey.[2] Caravanserais supported the flow of commerce, information and people across the network of trade routes covering Asia, North Africa and Southeast Europe, most notably the Silk Road.
[2]caravan (n.) 1590s, in reference to in North Africa or western Asia, "company of travelers, pilgrims, merchants, etc., going together for security," from Middle French caravane, from Old French carvane, carevane "caravan" (13c.), or Medieval Latin caravana, words picked up during the Crusades, via Arabic qairawan from Persian karwan "group of desert travelers".The 'Kleins Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English Language' traces the source of the English 'caravan', Middle French 'caravane', Old French 'carvane', Medieval Latin 'caravana', Persian 'karwan' to the Sanskrit 'karabhah' (करभ), another Sanskrit word for the 'camel'.
In 'Smith's Dictionary of the Bible', Stuart Poole traced the source of the word 'camel' and Hebrew 'gamel' to the Sanskrit 'kramela' (क्रमेल) meaning 'camel', which is derived from the word 'kram' (क्रम्), meaning 'to walk' or 'to step', which would then signify the walking animal.
The Sanskrit 'kramela' passed into Hebrew as 'gamal' which is how it appears in the Old Testament, into Arabic as 'jemel' or 'gemel', into Egyptian as 'sjamoul', and into Latin as 'camelus'. In fact even the Hebrew 'gamal' by itself may be traced to Sanskrit 'gam' (गम्), 'to go' or 'to walk'.
Used in English for "any large number of persons traveling together with much baggage" (1660s), hence "a large covered carriage for conveying passengers" (1670s) or later for traveling shows or used as a house by Gypsies. In modern British use (from 1930s), often a rough equivalent of the U.S. camper or recreational vehicle.
[3] A camel train[ or caravan is a series of camels carrying passengers and goods on a regular or semi-regular service between points. Although they rarely travelled faster than the walking speed of a person, camels' ability to withstand harsh conditions made them ideal for communication and trade in the desert areas of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula for centuries. Camel trains were also used sparingly elsewhere around the globe. From Middle English, borrowed from Old French train (“a delay, a drawing out”), from traïner (“to pull out, to draw”), from Vulgar Latin *tragināre, from *tragere, from Latin trahō, trahere (“to pull, to draw”). The verb was derived from the noun in Middle English.
train (n.) early 14c., "a drawing out, delay;" late 14c., "trailing part of a skirt, gown, or cloak;" also "retinue, procession," from Old French train "tracks, path, trail (of a rome or gown); act of dragging," from trainer "to pull, drag, draw," from Vulgar Latin *traginare, extended from *tragere "to pull," back-formation from tractus, past participle of Latin trahere "to pull, draw" (see tract (n.1)).,
General sense of "series, progression, succession, continuous course" is from late 15c. Train of thought first attested 1650s. The railroad sense "locomotive and the cars coupled to it" is recorded from 1820 (publication year, dated 1816), from notion of a "train" of wagons or carriages pulled by a mechanical engine.
[4] Camel wrestling (Turkish deve güreşi) is a sport in which two male Tülü camels wrestle, typically in response to a female camel in heat being led before them. It is most common in the Aegean region of Turkey, but is also practiced in other parts of the Middle East and South Asia.
