What is a camel saddle called?

1 Answer
A camel saddle is called a “mahawi” in Arabic. It is a device that the rider places behind the hump. It is supported by a pair of wool or canvas pads, one on each side of the hump that levels the contours of the camel's back. This makes it easier for someone to ride or transport goods by flattening out the camel's hump. 1stDibs has a variety of camel saddles for sale.
