The annual camel beauty contest has just ended in Abu Dhabi, the capital of United Arab Emirates.

This Al-Dhafra Festival attracts camel owners from across the Arabian Peninsula who compete to find who has the cutest camel.

Owners of the most beautiful specimens could win several million US dollars and expensive cars.

The BBC's Dawood Azami was at the pageant to see those lovelies strutting their stuff. He also sent Outlook these wonderful pictures (below).
