Dear ISOCARD Members
Greetings!
To begin with, I would like to congratulate you all for establishing and supporting this organization and the exceptional role that it plays in encouraging studies of camelid sciences and promoting the scientific publications in camelid fields.
To assist in supporting the same objectives and to show the outstanding quality of the camel as highlighted in the Quran, I decided to establish a Camel Center in the UAE.
The plan is to create an attraction where we target tourists and residences of the country from all ages.
The vision has three main goals:
1. Raising public awareness of camels and their relationship with the Bedouins/mankind.
2. Establishing a center of excellence for camel education in the UAE.
3. Displaying living camels and all the camelid family.
I have prepared a brief for the camel Center, however I thought your support and inputs will enhance this project and add to my brief to enrich this center in achieving its’ vision.
To give you some idea about what the Camel Center brief has, below is a list of some services that will take place in the center:
1. Educational facilities
2. Library room
3. Class/seminar room
4. Coffee shop
5. Gift shop
6. Vet room
7. Visiting center (educational) to exhibit environmental pictures & animal parts
8. Camel Ride Area
Therefore, I would like to request you to provide me with any suggestions that will add services and facilities

The arrangement of the centre provided is okay, although i don’t know about the budget for the centre, but in my opinion i think the centre should have a hospital or at least a clinic for emergencies in race or riding or even regular presentation of camel for routine veterinary check up and a referenced camel laboratory or at least a side laboratory for refered diagnosis or at spot diagnosis in the centre.
I hope you will find this observations useful.
