Relative value: Camel to cattle
A Masai Warrior states, “We don’t like the taste of camel meat or milk” another Masai warrior tells few of his countrymen seem to have any interest in discussing camels, let alone learning more about their advantages over cattle. "
“One camel costs 36 goats or sheep. One camel costs three donkeys or 12 cows.” he answers. Later I find out a camel costs 60 000 Kenyan shillings, around US$ 700/R 6 700.

MBS is a brilliant and noble leader. He must give the finest camels alive so let us assume Gulf finest "dowry quality racing camels" are worth 100 * $70,000.00 .
While it is possible to assert "dowry quality racing camels" are worth much more than 70 k based on sales figures from the Emirates and by analogy with Keeneland thoroughbred sales, QR camel flesh and dowry analysts do not believe the Saudi Prince means to assert this valuation.

While the bride’s bloodline has a great genetic endowment, Saudi dowry tier racing camels do also.

In fact, it is expected the the Kingdom would suggest that dowry valuations are and archaic modern liberated women are worth more (or less depending) and in any case, just as camels can be troublesome and expensive, spit in an owners' faces, destroy their property, kick grooms to death abuse servants need therapists and expensive medical procedures - women/wives do also and the preference for one over the other is a matter of taste.
US Camel breeders warn:
" Many people in our community that we’ve mentored have had lots of large animal experience from professional horse trainers to zoo keepers, they all realized that a camel cannot be compared to any other animal and they are in fact ‘unique’ and require a ‘unique’ way of handling and training."
