Camel Mazayina

Camel Mazayina is divided into two categories: Asayel and Majahim. Asayel camels were referred to as Humr Al-Niaam in the tradition of the noble Prophet (Peace Be upon Him). They were also known as Red Nouq (Camels). They were mentioned in history when Antar abin Shaddad (the legendary warrior and poet) went to the west of the Arabian Peninsula to fetch them as dowry for his beloved Abla. Their origin and places of presence are the UAE and Oman.

-Majahim's origins were in Najed, in Saudi Arabia
