Trekking through the dunes of the Sahara in 40 degree heat can be thirsty work even for camels . And one for one of the animals taking a long swig from a beer bottle was just what they needed to refresh themselves . The herd of camels were on a trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes in Morocco , where one of the group was snapped having a refreshing drink . A camel takes a swig from a beer bottle on a short refreshment stop while trekking across the Sahara desert . Tour guides filled the beer bottles with water for the camels to drink as temperatures reached as high as 40 degrees . But rather than swigging down beer the bottles had actually been filled with water by the guides for the camels to drink . Photographer Joao Victor Bolan , who captured the image , said : 'The picture where a camel drinks from a bottle , it was obviously just for fun . It was just water . 'They do n't usually drink too often and while we were there , I had n't seen any camel drinking . 'We only made a short stop - I would say not more than 15 minutes - but judging by how fast they drank it , I guess they were thirsty . ' Mr Bolan travelled over 370 miles across the High Atlas mountain range from the Moroccan city of Marrakech to reach the sand dunes . The pictures were snapped by photographer Joao Bolan , who spent time trekking across the Erg Chebbi dunes in Morocco . The 26-year-old travelled with a guide and a friend and when they reached the dunes , they hired a total of six camels to help them explore the area . And while there , they experienced extreme temperatures ranging from soaring heat during the day to freezing temperatures around minus five late at night . Mr Bolan , from Sao Paulo , Brazil added : ' I was photographing the route from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi through the High Atlas region . The group experienced extreme temperatures on their trek ranging from soaring hear during the day to freezing temperatures at night . 'We stopped at a base camp for the dunes where we spent the night . 'Like any other desert , it was incredibly hot during the day and cold at night . 'Riding the camels was a little uncomfortable to be honest . 'After two hours , your back really starts to hurt but I would say that was a nice experience because it 's a huge animal that goes on a paced rhythm in a majestic environment . '
