I chose not to find out whether or not “camelicious” is an accurate description.

    It’s an uphill battle to adjust to the taste, but once you’re over the hump it’s just deserts.

      Really a thing. I took it with my own camera. They also have a website. The advertising copy on the website is quite entertaining.

        The UAE in general is an interesting experience. I’ve only been once, but my wife has been several times for work.

        The face they want to present has a kind of a Pan-European middlebrow banality (i.e. you want to impress many people who may or may not be all that thoughtful and who definitely speak many different languages and have different cultural touchstones… I am thinking of stuff like the old BASF “nothingburger” ads or the "anthems for Eurovision or Champions League football), combined with an American-like sense of recklessly cheerful enthusiasm for development and economic growth, but wrapped in a cloak of religiosity and always with a barely concealed underpinning of oligarchic authoritarianism.

        To be perfectly honest, it felt a lot like what I expect the evil, but less mustache-twirlingly evil, hope America will be. Still open for business, and even superficially welcoming, but with true wealth only going to those selected by the entrenched power structure, with all others allowed to serve at their pleasure and under a bedrock expectation of not disturbing their preferred social order.

        I don’t remember if it is the same company, but there is an episode of The F Word where they taste camel milk and talk about making it viable in the UK.

      And it’s not the only fluid which comes out of camels to be popular in some countries.

    I’ve had chocolate made with camel milk. It was good, though being positioned as a premium thing it probably would have been just as good with cow milk.
