Camel Souk
The last camel souk in the UAE One of the U.A.E last functioning camel markets, the Camel Souk at Al Ain is a fascinating look at an age-old trade, where proud owners tout the merits of their desert animals in hopes of selling them for a hefty reward. These even-toed, one-hump creatures will tug at your heartstrings, and this is a great place both to see the camels and to interact with locals. The market is an especially fun place for children, who can sit on the camels in exchange for a tip. It's best to dress conservatively when visiting the camel souk.
