According to the Arab TV network al-Arabiya, hair salons throughout the country are requesting this precious 'tonic' and selling it at four dollars a litre - a high price considering the income level of most of the buyers.
"I have been using camel urine since I have been going to elementary school," said Amal, a university student in Sanaa.
"The first time a neighbour told me that she had been using it (urine) for many years, because it made her hair more beautiful and shiny. Now everyone in my home uses it."
The use of the urine is not just limited to women. Men have reportedly also been using it to prevent or stop hair loss.
"Many young men use the camel's urine. I am forced to buy large quantities for my business," said Hasan, a barber.
A boom in the sale of camel urine has prompted people to begin breeding more camels, and they are constantly being given liquids in order to collect more urine.
