Burden bearing camels are the most common camel in Arab countries. You can see the difference in its larger size, its strength and its endurance. It can, in case of need, remain more than 2 months without drinking and 2 weeks without eating, although when given the chance it will drink and eat every day...An ordinary riding camel will normally proceed at about 5/6 kms/hour, its fastest racing speed being perhaps 20kms/hour, but a racing camel can reach 40km/hour, sometimes more. Their endurance is astonishing: although a good camel can cover 50 or 60 kms a day for several successive days, over 100kms in 12 hours is not extraordinary. A very good camel can cover 120 or 130kms in 12 hours. Some specially bred camels have been known to continue at racing speed for up to 18 hours. If you calculate the distance this covered, you can see just how valuable they were to the Bedouin and why they earned their name...Camel milk is more nutritious than cow's milk since it is heavy in protein. It is one of the basic ingredients of a traditional Bedouin diet (it carries little fat, does not curdle and is difficult to turn into cheese). It is said that a Bedouin who only owns a female camel and her young one is a rich man, since he can cover long distances and is nourished mainly from the camel milk.
Camel milk has also a number of medicinal uses; it is recommended in cases of muscular diseases, in cases of sterility and more recently camel milk and also camel urine is being studied as remedies for cancer.
