Al Ain Camel Market
سوق الإبل
The UAE's last traditional camel market, where hundreds of camels are on sale behind fences, offering a taste of Bedouin trading life.
The camel market is located behind Bawadi Mall and is the last traditional camel market in the UAE. Every morning, traders and herders buy and sell camels, goats and sheep here, and prized racing camels can fetch hundreds of thousands of dirhams. Entry is free, but people sometimes offer to guide visitors and then ask for a tip; you can politely decline or agree on a price beforehand. Always ask permission before photographing people. The market is busiest from 7 to 10 a.m., and there is a livestock market next door.
