BNA KID's correspondent, student Reem Salah Al-Ansari, wrote the following description of the virtues of Arabian camels:
Camels are a god-sent gift to people living in deserts in view of their capacity to thrive and adapt with harsh desert conditions all year round.
God has created camels to be wonderfully patient and to persistently move over long distances on difficult parchy terrain and harsh climatic conditions, bear the pangs of thirst for up to ten days in hottest summertime.
Camels and palm trees are historically intertwined with Arabs because camels and palm trees are akin to two heads on one body and affect the lives of Arabs in terms of mobility, food and drink.
Despite scarcity of resources in the past, camels were considered significant means of transport and mobility and played a huge role in conveyance of army supplies and personnel. Islamic conquests relied on camels and allotted them a share of the war bounty.
Camels were oncee used by Muslim pilgrims across the Arabian Peninsula on their way to and from Mecca and Medina. Camels are used as blood money (ransom) and dowry. Camel milk nourished the bodies of Arabs who inherited patience, endurance from camel milk which constituted the bulk of nutirition of Arabs.
