A Camels Beauty Pageant

I thought I had heard it all, that was until I heard about the special beauty pageant being run in Abu Dhabi. Yes Abu Dhabi, a jewel in the UAE, has started a beauty pageant for CAMELS...yes camels.

You would think this is a small affair, a few camels and a few strange men ranking their beauty for a plastic trophy to be one but this could not be further from the truth.

Over ten thousand camels coming from as far as Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman are going to compete to become the most beautiful camel there ever was and the lucky owner can win up to four million British pounds, thats EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS. For those not lucky enough to win this large prize there are smaller prizes of cars and other expensive items.

The reason why so much money is at stake is because this wonderous event is sponsored by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, the ruler of Abu Dhabi.
