Buy Yourself a Camel at the Friday Market

Looking for an authentic souvenir from the Emirates? Then why not take home a camel?

No, not the larger than life camels that push you out of your tent but these ornamental ones (pictured) that fit nicely in your bed.

These cute camels come in three sizes at the Friday Market:

Large: Dh15.00

Medium: Dh10.00

Small: Dh8.00

At that price you’ll want to take home an entire caravan of camels for the children and the grandchildren.
