Camels in Saudi Heritage: A Source of Food, Medicine, and National Legacy

Camels have long been a vital source of food and medicine, passed down through generations, and have become an essential element of Arab culture and heritage.

 The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a natural home to this livestock, with its diverse environment suited to these animals, known for their unique ability to adapt to different environmental conditions.

 Camel milk has been the primary food source for desert dwellers throughout history, both in their settlements and during travel. This demonstrates its high nutritional value due to the natural nutrients it contains, which are sufficient for building the body.

 Camel milk is renowned for its nutritional value. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations confirms that it is a healthy and suitable food for people around the world.

 Among the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030 is the enhancement of local industries and the development of national human resources, particularly in relation to livestock, mainly camels, which are considered a national heritage.
