Stuffed Camel – Dubai

From the land of fantastic architecture and golden sandy dunes comes a dish so unique and rare, it has off late been described as the Loch Ness monster of Arabian cuisine.  Stuffed Camel is a majestic and royal dish customarily served at traditional Bedouin weddings. What makes this dish worth royalty is the fact that a medium-sized camel is stuffed with a lamb, a chicken, a fish along with some eggs,   and then cooked for 24 hours. Our Dubai Packages will surely take you there, but getting yourself invited to a Sheik’s wedding is up to you.
