Gulf News ^

Posted on 05/31/2014 4:25:17 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A well-known Saudi farmer sold three of his camels for SR14.2 million (Dh14 million) to buyers from the Gulf kingdom and neighbouring Kuwait.

The first two camels were sold for SR6million each while the third fetched nearly SR2.2 million, Sabq newspaper reported.

The paper said the deal in the northwestern town of Hail was one of the largest camel transactions in Saudi Arabia despite fears the desert animals could be the cause of Coronavirus that has killed hundreds of people in the kingdom.

In some countries the price would be known as the Dowry.

They have little remote control mechanical jockeys beating on them down the track, pretty funny. Camels running has to be one of the funniest things nature has come up with.
