Camel racing is a true spectator sport in this part of the world. Camels race around the track while their owners follow along in 4x4s.  A day at the camel races is representative of Middle Eastern culture and dates back to the 7th century. The stands are often filled with camel owners, trainers, and handlers. Races start early—between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m.—and commentary and announcements are made in Arabic.
