If the purchased Camel doesn't match the color or the number of the previous Camel, then it has to be placed to the left of the Caravan Master. This option can only be used if a player can't add the purchased Camel to their Caravan.

As soon as the Camel cards to the left of the Caravan Master can be added to the Caravan, the player does so immediately.

At the end of the game the Camel cards that are placed to the left of the Caravan Master are added and score only half of the points (rounded down).
