Syria and Lebanon
The ancient arabic ruins of Palmyra and Balbekk
It is a simple film following a camel train which arrives at the ruined city of Palmyra.  The camels walk through the ruins (columns still standing, and quite a few walls, too).  The camels sit near an oasis.  Their riders, Bedouin, eat and sleep.  Children run around and bathe naked in the water.  They appear to emerge from a building in the ruins - maybe this is still a house?  Close ups of the intricate stone carving and architecture.
The cameliers leave with their animals.
