I have a friend who knows someone who was a camal herder.  One of his camels was rented to make the transfer of the IKEA goods past the Saudi border.  He said they finally took care of the diplomatic issues, and the camel convoy of 250 camels are making their way to Doha as we speak.


Along the way they will stop in certain towns for advertising the opening day in 2014.  If the building is not complete by the time the camal convoy arrives, they will by pass Doha, and move their operations to Bahrain.
