    Tatemman, meaning to rest assured in Arabic, includes 480 hotel rooms, both single and double, and provides diverse services to camels who should pass a medical examination to enjoy their stay in the hotel.
    Owners pay 400 Saudi Riyals (nearly $107) for their camels to enjoy a full board stay including fodder and barley. Camels can also drink milk for an additional 100 Riyals (nearly $27) per animal.
    "Of course, with the services they provide ranging from doctors examining your camels, guarding, and security, you and your camels are comfortable," said camel owner Naif al-Dawsari.
