For the Bedouin, camels rue more than an animal. They were a ticket for survival and a method of transportation, a friend, companion and a source of hair from which to make tents, clothes and much more. The camel was a provider of meat, milk and dung which can be burnt to keep warm. In the eyes of a Bedouin there could be nothing more perfectly designed to have as a comrade during a solitary existence in the desert. Arabian camels are very different from those in Asia, in general.
Arabian camels vary too.
For example those in the north are larger with heavier, bigger bones than those found in the south of Arabic. Bedouins or tribes will talk for hours about their breeds of camel, about their fine colored hair, elegant looks and sturdy capabilities. Lighter camels tend to come from the north of Arabia, while darker ones are to be found in the more southern sections of Arabia. The most important asset is its extraordinary stamina. Desert camels have the unique ability to find water and their owners fill containers and water the camels from them.
