Dubai Forums Dubai Classifieds Will Buy in Dubai

Hello,

I have promised my son that this winter vacation I will buy him a camel in Dubai. Do you have any ideas how to do this? How much does it cost to transport the camel to europe? Please help me.

Best Regards,

Stefan

I have a feeling this is a setup but ....

First off the country that exports the most number of camels is Australia,

If you have your heart set on one, there is a 24 hour camel auction that runs in Fujeria, costs and exporting I would know nothing about.

Good luck.

thank you for the info..

this is really serious thing for me..
does anyone know something about transportation etc.?

I will try to find where the Fujeria is..thanks again!

I with Faz.

Australia is the place to buy camels.

Paddy McHugh can sell you one and have it sent anywhere in the world.

But if you really want a camel from Dubai, I am sure that it can be arranged.

Just wire transfer 500,000 Dirhams to my account and I can have one ready for you when you get here.

This is probably a bit late for your query, but you might be interested in this article anyway:

Where to buy...a Camel
The Observer, Sunday April 22 2007

If you've ever had that 'ah, your beautiful wife, for her I will pay 50 camels' experience and followed it through, this advice may be wasted, but for anyone in need of a humpy assistant, or just an interesting day out at an authentic market, the place to go is Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates.

The city, whose name means 'the eye', is on the eastern boarder with Oman and has been a focal point for trade routes for thousands of years. Its camel market has been there as long as anyone can remember. The last of its kind in the country, it makes a fascinating day trip even if you're not planning to buy (they cost anything from £300 to £2,000). Visitors witness traders from around the Gulf bartering over animals, and may even spy the odd newborn camel baby. Thursdays and Fridays are the best days.

Camel races take place at the nearby Al Maqam Race Track in the winter, with competitors vying for a share of several million dollars. It's free for spectators.

Other sites in Al Ain include Jebel Hafeet, the UAE's highest mountain, the Ain Al Faydah natural spring and several forts. You could also try camel milk ice cream from the Al Ain Dairy; it's low in fat, high in vitamin C and available in stores across the city.
