They might call the lush Australian beachside hub of Byron Bay home.

But this week, Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, 35, and wife Elsa Pataky, 42, swapped the ocean for the desert.

The star couple are enjoying a holiday with their family overseas, with Chris taking to Instagram to share some fun snaps of themselves going for a camel ride.

‘Strapped a Louis Vuitton bag to a camel and off we went, side saddle all the way legends,’ Chris captioned the snaps, where he jokes about the material of a seat on a camel.

In the images, Chris covers up in blue cloth, while Elsa wears a bright pink cloth and red dress.

The pair have kept their location under wraps, but fans have suggested that they are holidaying in Morocco, in North Africa.

Fast and Furious star Elsa has shared some snaps and videos to her Instagram story, including a picture of herself bathing in a spa.

She can also be seen going makeup free as she walks around their lavish accommodation, and in a video, jumps into a pool with her children.

The couple are based in the idyllic Byron Bay on the NSW north coast, with their children, daughter India, six, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, four.

The pair are currently building a six-bedroom mansion by the beach.

Speaking to News.com.au recently, Elsa revealed that a major decision behind the move from Malibu to Byron Bay was to escape prying eyes of the paparazzi.

‘We couldn’t take it anymore,’ Elsa said. ‘In LA, my kids had a camera in front of them all the time and it made my daughter become very scared of photos. She didn’t want pictures taken and didn’t want to be in a photo.’
