Treasures of the Desert: Discover The Unbelievable Charms of Dubai
Camels Meet High-Tech Jockeys
Forget Formula One; in Dubai, the racetrack is dominated by the desert’s very own ship—the camel! At Al Marmoom, the grandest of racing arenas, these majestic beasts dash to the finish line but with a futuristic twist. On their backs? Not humans, but robotic jockeys, kitted out with walkie-talkies and GPS.
It’s where tradition meets technology, and boy, is it a spectacle! Held during the balmy embrace of October through April, it’s a season of speed, sand, and some seriously savvy robots. So, make a pitstop in Dubai for a race where technology saddles up and camels lead the charge. Get set, ‘hump’!
