Pictures: Amazing camel racing in Abu Dhabi
- Published
ON YOUR MARKS.... these brave riders are lining up before a big race in the outskirts of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
GET SET... GO! The team members, who have been trying to keep the camels steady on the line, run off first and try not to hit by them!
It's all part of a big camel festival which takes place every year in the Middle Eastern country.
As well as the racing there is also a camel beauty show and camel poetry readings!
Camel sports are very traditional and popular here. Race winners at this 12-day festival can win big cash prizes!
