Do Arabian people ride on camels?

While many associate camels with the Middle East, it's important to note that camels are not commonly used as a primary means of transportation in modern Arabia, including by the Arabian people.

Arabian countries have experienced significant urbanization and modernization in recent decades, with the development of modern transportation systems, including cars, buses, and airplanes. Camels, while holding cultural significance, are now primarily kept for recreational purposes such as racing, tourism, and historical preservation.

Furthermore, the use of camels as a primary mode of transportation has declined due to several practical considerations. Camels are relatively slow compared to modern vehicles, limiting their efficiency for commuting and long-distance travel. Additionally, the infrastructure and facilities required to support large-scale camel transportation, such as specialized feeding and resting stations, are no longer widely available in the urbanized areas of Arabia.
