Well everything goes in the UAE or so they say, we saw number plates being sold for millions before and now a camel has been bought for the equivalent to $2.7 million! Those of you who are camel enthusiasts –if they indeed exist- will know of a beauty pageant strictly for camels that occurs in Abu Dhabi offering prizes for the best of the breed.

The prizes range from cash to cars but the true winner of the jackpot was Sari Al Mazrouie who sold the $ 2.7 million to none other but the Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashed Al-Maktoum. The UAE is really moving forward in the way of camels, they recently produced a test tube camel and they even now use robots as jockeys in camel races, as opposed to children.

What do you think is it too extravagant to spend so much on a camel when children are dying in Africa?

These are photos of the camel whose name is 'Mashofan' who was the most expensive camel in Saudi Arabia, he was valued at more than $4.5 million, i'm using was because he died a couple of months ago.
