ABSTRACT
In the Arab States of Arabia proper, the rights of an individual over his camel are looked upon as more sacred perhaps than life itself. It is possible that there may be slight differences in custom and details in various parts of Arabia, but speaking generally, the rules given below will be found to be understood and prevail in most of North-Eastern and Central Arabia. I cannot speak for Oman, Yaman and the Hijaz, but I see no reason to suppose that the basic principles of all desert camel laws are not the same.
