No problem! It is a bit of a drive, and i said "almost every Saturday" as once I got there and it was not taking place. I am sure there are announcements online, but I am also sure it is all in Arabic.

It is interesting, and somewhat funny as it is obvious that the poor camel was not designed by nature to be a sprint runner. They kind of look like old fat ladies desperately trying to catch a bus which is about to leave.

Also, they have remote controlled robots with a whip strapped on their backs.

When I first saw a picture of a camel race, I thought they were little monkeys. Obviously, that would have been Extra Awesome lol. But, I guess robots are cool too.

Before you let your imagination takes you away with the聽 old `fat' ladies, you may want to read or just scan the history of camel races in the peninsula. It is one of the oldest desert sports in the history. They聽 are in fact聽 created or, as you put it,'designed' to race just like horses.
