Camel Racing
Camel Racing, Abu Dhabi, United Arab EmiratesAbout
Camels used to be the symbol of food, protection, heat and friendship during the harsh days of desert living and they're loved and cherished by the Emiratis. Camel races take place at the Al Wathba race track, about 45 km from the city centre. While it's a drive to get out there, the roads are clearly marked so you'll have no trouble finding the track, which is open to the public on Thursdays and Fridays. i t's quite a surreal experience to watch: small robots have replaced jockeys, creating an interesting mix of tradition and technology.
Closing days: Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Sunday
