A camel was sold for eight million Saudi riyals (Dh8 million) in Saudi Arabia this week, one of the highest prices paid for a camel in the Gulf Kingdom.

The young male camel, owned by Alian Rashid Al Tuhaimi, was sold to Saleh Burrak Al Rashidi, according to Sabq newspaper which said both are well known camel owners.

“It is a rare camel breed…it fetched the highest prices this year and one of the highest prices paid for a camel in Saudi Arabia,” the paper said.

It said the deal was struck ahead of the annual camel pageantry season to be held in the Gulf Kingdom next month.
