I say "we" but I no longer live there ... Too lazy to change it ....
Only time I see a camel in Bahrain or Dubai is when I actively go out looking for one. You know ... on lonely nights ....but usually we just shag dirty English or pinoy birds ...

And what you described is not very sustainable. Importing everything is not very sustainable nor environmental friendly option and nor is practicing any larger scale agriculture around there. Nor desalinization is sustainable (shit loads of waste salt). Before they had mainly camels for a reason and the population wasn't that big for the same reasons. They should have more camels, as that is pretty much the only sustainable thing around there.
Being sustainable, it is not about lingering just now.. it is about being sustainable. The situation in California is neither sustainable and will blow on Yankee face on one day, probably not so far in the future.
