Избор на најубава камила

АБУ ДАБИ (ДПА) - Спуштен нос, голема грпка, тенок врат, долги нозе, крупни очи. Тоа се
карактеристиките на повеќе од 10 илјади ученици во изборот за најубава камила на
Персискиот Залив. Осумдневниот избор почна завчера во типичниот грандиозен стил на
емиратот Абу Даби.
Кој ќе победи на изборот на којшто се доделуваат парични награди од вкупно девет
милиони долари и 100 автомобили? Дали тоа ќе биде Асајел со доброто педигре или
Махаџим со темното крзно?
Изборот го организира Управата за култура и наследство од Абу Даби за да ги потсети
луѓето на своето потекло.
Камилата позната како "пустински брод" се уште е високо почитувана во нафтените
држави во Персискиот Залив кои брзо се модернизираат, како симбол на традиционалниот
номадски живот на бедуините. Историски гледано, Арапите ги користеле камилите како
неопходно и ефикасно превозно средство, а понекогаш и како воена средство и како
храна.
Учесниците во изборот се камили со педигре кои не смеат да имаат никакви заразни
болести и сериозни недостатоци. Трките со камили се популарен спорт и исплатлив
бизнис во Персискиот Залив. Абу Даби е еден од седумте емирати што ги сочинуваат
Обединетите Арапски Емирати.

Abu Dhabi is an interesting mix of spectacular Western-style architecture and

modern renditions of Islamic traditions. This isn't really a contrast of old and new,
since both are newly built. The contrast can be found, however. A good place to
find tradition is in the vegetable souk.

boulevards, highrises, apartment buildings and busy shops. This wealthy
city has fascinating culture and provides fantastic opportunities to the
tourists.

pieces of the emirate’s history.
