Photo by irablockphoto / A camel wanders through the desert in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. In the United Arab Emirates, dromedary camels play an important role in the region's culture. Their wool is a multipurpose fabric used in carpets and rugs; their meat is a delicacy served to commemorate significant occasions such as Eid and National Day. Camels are also a source of entertainment, and a status symbol. Though most Emiratis get around in their 4x4 vehicles, camels still carry tourists looking to experience authentic desert travel.
