Camel racing tour

If you are lucky enough to be in Dubai when the camel racing is happening, don't miss it. Races are held Thursday Friday and Sunday November to April, one race at 7:30am and one at 4pm.

If you are not so lucky turn up at the track any early morning (7am is best) or late afternoon and watch these magnificent racing camels being put through their paces in preparation for the big races. Strictly speaking photography is not permitted so wait until the escorting pick up trucks have passed and grab your camera for a quick couple of snaps. If you are caught apologize profusely and move on. The camels now race with robots on their back instead of the previous child jockeys, who could have been as young as six years old.
