I'm normally based in Dubai but I'm in Australia at the moment and it's featuring on the menu here a lot - after all the Australians export a lot of camels to the Middle East. I've just discovered your blog by accident as I was looking for an update on an eco-tourism project in Iran and somehow arrived here. Great blog! I'll link to it from my own. I'd love to know where the photo is... as a travel writer I should probably know, but I don't... I haven't been to Iran yet but I'm going in 2009 so I'll definitely be trying out these companies.

Well worth seeking out on your travels in the ME ...... thanks Karen for finding green info about Iran - healing International rifts & misunderstandings through ecological awareness & action.

Of course in Islam, many types of meat are considered to be Halal or ritually permitted to Muslims that are not allowed to be eaten by Jews. I imagine camel meat is not much different that some kinds of hoofed mammals like deer or moose. Probably a bit stringy and "gamey" tasting.
