This is Hussan, a camel herder from Sudan who lives in Saudi Arabia. He has just milked a camel for us. He will pour the fresh warm milk into a plastic bag for us to take away. A few posts ago, I wrote about the superior health qualities of camel’s milk versus cow’s milk. I also recently featured a story about Hussan and his life on my other blog, Susie’s Big Adventure – take a look!
About This Blog, and About Me: Susie of Arabia
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is KSA's 2nd largest city and is located on its west coast, right on the Red Sea. I moved here in 2007 with my Saudi hubby. This journal reflects the things that I see here, life through my eyes, my lens.
Please be sure to also visit my other blog, SUSIE OF ARABIA (formerly SUSIE'S BIG ADVENTURE), which relates my experiences, thoughts, and observations about living in Saudi Arabia.

Where can I get fresh camel milk???i am new to jeddah.
We usually go out north on Al Haramain Hwy. The the exit for Osfan/Asfan. You should see some camel stations around that area.
Interesting! An acquired taste? I’d try it at least once! How about Camel cheese?!
Camel milk is wonderdul. If you have any diesease in your gut, it will clean it out. It tastes thin like fat free cow milk. The first taste will feel a slight salty, but ever sip after that lacks the first hint of salt. We love it! Unpastuarized is the best. The high heat kills the nutrition and taste.
Really? You drink it unpasteurized? My hubby always boils the hell out of it. I don’t drink it much, but he uses it for coffee or desserts or other recipes.
Wonderful photo of what is probably a rather common scene there. Lots of white in the snapshot but quite different from the blizzard whiteout outside my window. The whole region has shut down today.
Great snap. We can see the strained milk coming through.
