Although camels ruminate they aren't true ruminants and lack four well defined stomachs including Omasum.

Dear student 
The omasum is the third chamber in the ruminant stomach. It lies within the intrathoracic part of the abdomen so cannot be palpated manually. Instead it is examined by ausculation, The omasum has biphasic contractions which squeeze fluid out of the food before allowing the ingesta to continue into the abomasum.
It is absent in Camel .
