The main source of carriage is the camel, supplemented to a small extent
by mules and donkeys. In the town and district there are some 5,000
camels owned by the local inhabitants, almost entirely employed in the
southern trade. All the mules are brought from outside, none are bred
in the district and few are owned. Donkeys are numerous and are used as
transport to other places, but are chiefly employed locally. No good horses
are bred in the province, they are imported ; no stock is kept, and there is
