The Noble Desert Ship: Camel Ketubah

Camels are often referred to as desert ships, due to their endurance and strength, without which men in the desert would be powerless. Camel is one of the few animals that can endure the harsh desert conditions, which has made it the main association to the desert, as well as patience and perseverance. It is hard to even imagine an animal as steady and calm as a camel; an animal that endures a great deal of sacrifice and hardship while remaining calm and composed. In the face of grueling life conditions, a camel preserves its grace and beauty. Although the first camel species that comes to mind is Arabian, there are also Bactrian and Asian, which differ greatly in size.

In different cultures, a camel also stands for different symbolisms which have various interpretations. For instance, in Arabian culture and tradition, a camel stands for power, wealth, and money. A person who has a camel in their possession is considered wealthy, as camels represent much more than a desert vehicle for them.

In Qatar, a camel is also viewed as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. On the other hand, in both Chinese and Iranian cultures, camels have been linked to a mystical creature – dragon. According to their beliefs, camels and dragons share unique energy and spiritual power. Furthermore, as far as Christian tradition is concerned, a camel signifies dignity, as well as modesty.

When it comes to generally accepted, non-cultural representation of camels, they have often been associated with traveling, especially when it comes to exotic trips and long distances. Furthermore, as far as spirituality is concerned, camels may stand for a long spiritual journey that each of us takes on. On this journey, we might come across many obstacles and setbacks, but a camel represents endurance and persistence on that path. What’s more, a camel stands for hope, that even though the road is long and weary, we’ll be able to make it to the finish line.
