Australia exports sand & camels to Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is 95% desert, and its national animal is camels.

Yet, they need other countries to support them on these 2 things!

Why is that?

1/ Desert sand is thick

For construction, fine sand is needed

This is usually available near river beds or beaches, but it is not found in Saudi

2/ Camels are like family

Saudi camels are treated like family members in Saudi Arabia

However, the people enjoy camel meat

Hence, they’ve turned to importing camels to fulfil that need

Intuition, hunch, belief, gut feeling, etc, will only take you so far

If you want to make informed decisions, look towards data
