 Nearly 30,000 camels from the Gulf States are all set to put on their
best looks as they vie to become the UAE's beauty queens. The unique beauty
pageant is part of a 13-day long festival in Abu Dhabi, which starts on
Tuesday, December 23.
The pageant and the festival highlight the respect that the animal
receives in the country; it's used for racing, chocolates (indirectly) and UAE
souvenirs among other things.
