"I am decorating sacrificial camels. This business is our source of bread and butter since childhood," explained stylist Ali Hassan.
Footage shows him cutting into the rough camel hair in several stages, before applying natural henna dyes to create the patterns.
"It’s helpful for more profit-making as well as the specific animal looking beautiful and the customer is also satisfied after this makeover," he continued.

Eid al-Adha marks the Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his own son Ishmael, before his God provided him with a ram instead.
