Creature Comforts

In Dubai, even camels get VIP treatment with reserved parking spots! These “ships of the desert,” once vital for travel and trade in the harsh desert environment, are honored with comfortable resting areas, often located near vehicle parking lots.

Historically, camels were indispensable for their endurance and ability to navigate the arid landscapes of the Middle East. Today, while sleek cars and modern transport dominate the roads, camels still hold a cherished place in Dubai’s cultural heritage. These designated camel spots represent respect for the country’s history, preserving the legacy of these resilient creatures amidst Dubai’s rapid urbanization and modern conveniences.
