When was the last time you saw camels swim?
One of those rarest of rare and super unique moments from the hidden corners of UAE. In a silent corner of a little village named Al Rams, I was extremely lucky to come across this moment where camels were let to swim on a beach.
I was told the reason behind this rare ritual is to help these camels train their muscles to prepare them for the race they would participate in. And also this prevents the growth of pests on their body - given the salt in beach water.
Having been a passionate explorer of UAE for over a decade and having explored every inch of this Tiny Nation, it’s safe to say, I have never once encountered this scene of Camels taking a swim on the beach - ever.
