Dubai Camel Racing Club

Traditional camel races with a modern twist.

Jump right into the heat of camel racing at Dubai Camel Racing Club, where camels compete bareback without a jockey. Featuring technology that emerged from the banning of slave child jockeys, Dubai Camel Racing Club hosts camel races where trainers control their camels from the comfort of their cars. With a robot strapped to the camel’s back in replacement of a person, you can enjoy the magnificent sight of countless camel racing without restraint. This is where you can taste the anticipation of watching the frothing camels lined up in a dazzle of colourful fabrics, and the exhilaration of rooting for a winner.


You can choose from a variety places to watch the race: from the starting pen, the overhead bridge above the racetrack or the grandstand where live broadcasts are televised. Yet the most exciting of all would be to witness the thundering camels up-close by driving a car beside them. In the midst of the mayhem of shouts and whips, you will be caught up in this heart-pounding experience of guessing which camel will turn out victorious. During the off-season period, you can still drop by Dubai Camel Racing Club to watch the camels undergo training. This is your chance to meet these lovely creatures up-close and snap a picture with them. A hub for longstanding tradition, Dubai Camel Racing Club offers a matchless cultural immersion.
