1. Where were dromedary camels first domesticated?
Answer: Liwa Oasis, United Arab Emirates
Dromedary camels have one hump and were first tamed in Arabia, probably in the south-east, at least 3,000 years ago. No truly wild dromedaries survive today, so the exact start is hard to pin down. Liwa Oasis in the United Arab Emirates lies at the edge of the huge Empty Quarter desert, where herders still keep camels. Camels can go many days without drinking, which made desert trade possible.
