Prepare the baby camel by cleaning and gutting it thoroughly.

Marinate the camel with a mixture of spices, garlic, and olive oil for several hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to a low temperature, around 120°C (250°F).

Place the marinated camel on a large roasting rack.

Stuff the cavity with rice, nuts, and dried fruits for added flavor.

Cover the camel with foil to retain moisture during roasting.

Roast the camel in the oven for several hours, basting occasionally with its own juices.

Remove the foil for the last hour to allow the skin to crisp up.

Check for doneness; the meat should be tender and easily pulled apart.

Let the camel rest for 30 minutes before carving.

Serve the roasted camel with yogurt and fresh herbs on the side.
