Why camel racing is the prestigious sport in Dubai?

The Arabs definitely know how to entertain themselves and their visitors. Dubai has been one of the leading emirates to offer entertainment in various forms for everybody. Camel racing in Dubai is one of the many activities that prove this.

Camel racing is an integral part of Dubai's status. With time, this leisure activity got converted into a commercial sport. Camel races take place on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays during winters. There are two races held per day; one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Nad Al Sheba is the most famous race track in Dubai for camel racing. At Nad Al Sheba the morning races take place between the camels owned by the sheiks. 50-70 camels can take part in these races all at one time. The entry to watch these camel races are free. If you are on a Dubai holiday tour during winter, camel racing is a sport you should try and catch up on. Many of the race camels are bred in camel farms. Some desert safari tour operators also include a visit to these camel farms as a part of their desert tour packages. This is also one of the activities you can add to your 'must do' list on a trip to Dubai during winters this year.

We at Desert Safari Dubai (One World Travels) offer various tour packages for sight seeing across UAE. We are one of the best when it comes to arranging desert safaris in Dubai. Get Dubai tour packages customized according to your needs only at One World Travel and Tourism.
