They had the best conquest but I wouldn't say they were the strongest millitary. And their were TONS of horses in desert combat, and camel combat was actually rare. They were mostly used for carrying supplies. Mamluk's were able to fend off the Mongol's because they were warrior slaves from birth that were just as good with horse archery as the Mongol's were. The desert is certainly a rough battlefield but it's not because horses can't fight on them.
