You can actually look this up in the game files. For calculation of damage against them, they are considered as cavalry (with 11 armor against cav bonus damage though), camels, archers and unique units. They get bonus damage from skirmishers because they're archers.

Their team bonus looks at the class of the unit though, and for mamelukes that's cavalry, not cavalry archers.
