Quick question, is it possible to have multiple branches out of a caravan?

EG: I have a green caravan. I decide make kind of a "Y" shape and go in 2 opposite directions. Reading the FFG rules, it would be possible, but:
1- Can you enclose 2 areas with the same caravan? Making kind of a "E" or "8" shape?
2- Can you link multiple oases with this same "Y" caravan?

Thanks!

Your answer is yes to all. As long as each camel you place is next to a same colored camel from a group that contains your rider, than you can make any formation you want with them.

The only exception is you cannot place a camel if it would also be placed next to the same color camel from a group containing another player's rider, i.e. you cannot connect two separate caravans of the same color. You also cannot place a camel in an enclosed area (which are spaces that only a single caravan has access to).

Every caravan can potentially get points from every oasis. You just don't get points again by placing a camel adjacent to an oasis that that particular caravan is already adjacent to.

Note that your last sentence is unnecessary since it's a consequence of the first requirement (that each camel you place is next to a same colored camel from a group that contains your rider).

I meant you cannot place a camel in an enclosed space even if it is the same color as your own caravan enclosing it. Which you wouldn't want to in most cases since you would be taking away points, but say you can't expand anymore with that caravan, you still can't put anymore camels in the enclosed space (like to try to have the most camels in that color).

Yes,
you can have any type of clusters of camels. Don´t see them as snakes.
