Camels are used for transportation in North Africa, the Middle East (Arabia to India), and Western China. They have been mostly replaced by motor vehicles for transportation. However, there are areas that are too rugged to be served by motor vehicles where camels provide the best means of transportation. Also, in some places, camels are grown for meat. Where the need for transportation is extremely irregular, it is frequently easier to use a camel than to go miles searching for a motor vehicle.
