The Camel - our precious friends
Of the animals the camel is the best. It was the nomad's vehicle of transportation and his medium of exchange. The dowry of the bride, the price of blood were estimated in terms of camels. It is the Bedouin's constant companion. He drinks its milk; he feasts on its flesh; he covers himself with its skin; he makes his tent of its hair. Its dung is used as fuel. It is his shelter in the cold winter nights and protector against sandstorms. To him the camel is more than "the ship of the desert"; it is the special gift of Allah: Ata' Allah.
Though the camel is exchanged for the 4 wheel drive or the pick up, it still plays an important role in terms of wealth. Camels are used for breeding, trained for racing and carrying tourists on camel treks, one of the main sources of income as Sinai's economy is mainly based on tourism.
