Imagine telling a local elder person, talk to me about camels and, what does it mean to you? Things get more interesting. Camels are one of the strongest animals ever created by God. One of the components of their strength is that they could keep their water for a month without getting thirsty. Our grandfathers had been using them for transportation and loading heavy materials. Over the years the Gulf region got wealthy so they started buying some cars that had machines, which was something they had not thought of. The UAE and KSA particularly concentrated on camels, because they appreciated what they did for them and it is a part of their culture.

I have interviewed one of the lovers of camels Abdullah Butti Saif Al Marar,; he is 88 years old. He owned 23 female camels. Two of his camels won 2 races  and actually got 2.5 million from the race. It not that amazing? He said I got into this business after I saw that I owned camels and I fed them very well and I kept them in perfect health. Regarding  government, he said  the government was so helpful to me; they provided me with a free place to look after my camels in a safe environment and provided some food and water for free. In 2008 there was a vast event in Al Ain he participated and got the third place, which was surprising to him; why third place? Moreover, this is his life and he is proud and happy about it.
