Would you marry someone for 100 camels? And mind you, we're not talking just any camels, these are "the prettiest camels in the world," according to the Sudanese man offering his "ships of the desert" as a dowry for Jordanian TV presenter Ola Alfares... if she agrees to marry him, that is!!
We kid you not, according to Khaberni news, Abu Al Tayyeb Othman saved up a fortune to buy the 100 camels, after which he took good care of them for 10 years, all in the hope that Ola would one day accept his marriage proposal.
The dreamy "groom" said that he moved to the UAE a decade ago to work in the field of transportation, leaving a few camels behind in his native Sudan for investment purposes, reported Al Quds Al Arabi.
However, his great love for the MBC presenter caused him to call it quits in the UAE, gather all his savings and pack up and leave back to Sudan in order to dedicate his time to buying the 100 camels.
Did Ola like what she saw or get the "hump" about it? According to Panet news, she was touched by Al Tayyeb's gesture, adding that she holds a lot of love for Sudanese people.
Will we hear wedding bells soon? Umm, not really. Ola said that when it comes to marriage, she bears her grandma's advice in mind: "Marry someone from your own background." Sorry, Al Tayyeb.
