I didn’t count them of course, but there must be several hundred camels for sale at the Al Ain Camel Market. Goats, too.
At first I thought,”Why do we need so many camels?”
A few may be bred for racing. But camels as a major means of transportation are now a distant historical memory. **
Then I remembered, “Aren’t we all envious of anyone who can afford the ultra soft luxurious texture of a camel hair jacket or coat?”
And that’s just the beginning.
