'More beautiful than women, horses and all other animals': Welcome to the Arab beauty contest where million-dollar CAMELS with false eyelashes and lip filler compete for huge prizes

• Visitors trek across desert for lavish event in Liwa, United Arab Emirates

• Men happily declare they prefer camels to their wives - and all other women

• Prize camels can change hands for as much as £1.8million at all-male event

• Festival also features camel races and milking competitions

Thousands of men leer on, playboys skid around outside in expensive cars, and top models command fees reaching into the millions as part of the biggest beauty contest this side of Dubai.

But, unlike most pageants, it is not women on display but camels - a situation which suits the exclusively male attendees just fine.

Visitors to this sprawling event held annually in Liwa, United Arab Emirates, happily admit that they consider the winning camels - which change hands for almost £2million each - more beautiful than their wives, and indeed any other woman.

Mayhap a mere thank you is of little payment for your consideration. However, tis all I have to offer.

Won't the goats be jealous.

There is nothing on earth as beautiful as a sweet pretty girl with a bright smile.

There she goes...Miss Arabia...
There she goes...your ideal...

Or do they they ride the prostitutes to get to their favorite camels?

[Talisker]

Seriously, this explains a lot.

Think about it.

Mike, Mike Mike! Guess what day it is!

Camels are called ships of the desert because they move tons of cargo across the desert. Each camel can carry at least 600 pounds and they use very little water and food resources while traveling.

The UAE. Where men are men and the Camels wear Prada.

Have they no SPCA over there? Maybe veils should be required of the camels, too.

I remember an old Hustler cartoon (from back in my crazy days) that showed a man pulling down his pants next to a camel, and the caption stated, “This better be good, I walked a mile for it!”
