World camel day

They say a camel never forgets. This highly intelligent animal is so prized for a reason. It can remember the location of a water well in the desert even years later.

Despite the popularity of camel milk and meat, I also heard this interesting saying during my stay in Saudi Arabia:

“Whoever eats camel meat, it turns his heart to stone.”

I haven’t tried it myself yet. After hearing that, I probably never will.
