Abu Dhabi: Another male camel from a prize-winning bloodline was auctioned for Dh2.5 million on Tuesday.
The camel, a grandson of prize-winning UAE camel Jabbar, was auctioned with 23 other camels on the sidelines of the ongoing Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (Adihex) 2006.
During last year's auction, Jabbar's brother fetched the highest bid of Dh1.2 million from Shaikh Mohammad Bin Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The bidding for Jabbar's grandson began yesterday with Dh5,000, but with fierce competition it soon crossed Dh1 million and finally reached Dh2.5 million from Omani collector Naeem Al Ghilan.
Organisers later announced sales worth Dh3,544,000 in 23 camel auctions on the first day.
