Q&A for How to Buy a Camel

Yes, they can. Some camels have to survive in cold, snowy mountains.

The average price of a young camel in the US is about $5,000, but it can be much higher for various reasons. The price will increase if the camel is a more desirable color, or if it's had training for pack or saddle. Some breeders also offer pregnant camels.

Most camels treat children just like adults, as long as the children are old enough to understand to treat the camel with care and respect.

You do not necessarily have to travel to the Middle East in order to buy a camel. For example, if you live in the United States, you might be able to find a camel breeder in your state. However most likely you will need to get the camel overseas, like in Ethiopia.
