Camel Racing

One sporting event that may intrigue tourists is camel racing, although it is not unheard of in the United Arab Emirates. Prepping the animal for the sport takes a lot of time and effort. And similar to horses, a lot of attention is given to the training and nutrition of these four-legged animals.

The largest racing track is the Al Marmoom in Dubai, where you will find small robotic jockeys mounted upon these animals. Advanced technology has allowed trainers to add features like walkie-talkies and a GPS onto the robots. The racing season runs during the cooler seasons between October and April.
