The aim of this study was to determine the macro minerals profiles in camel__ampersandsignrsquo;s meat in different seasons and ages. Methodology: the study focused on the determination of macro minerals profiles in camel__ampersandsign#39;s meat. Meat 180 samples were taken monthly in summer, winter and autumn, from three groups of ages; 1-3, 4-6 and 7-9 years, Ash samples were analyzed for macro minerals (Ca, Mg, P, Na and K,). These minerals were determined according to the AOCS method. Results: It was found that the macro minerals (Ca, P, Mg, Na and K) profile in camel__ampersandsign#39;s meat showed a significant difference (p__ampersandsigngt;0.05) in different season. The concentration of Ca and Mg was higher in summer in young age animals (1-3 years) and lower in old age animals (7-9 years). While the concentration of K was higher in winter in old age animals (7-9 years) and lower in young age animals (1-3 years). There was no significant difference in concentration of P after three months of preservation (p__ampersandsignlt;0.05). Also, there was no significant difference in concentration of Mg after one month of preservation (p__ampersandsignlt;0.05). Conclusion: the concentration of Ca, Mg and K was affected by season and age, whereas the Na and P concentration was not. Further studies on micro minerals (Fe, Cu and Zn) profile in camel meat are recommended.&#13;
