Al Marmoom Camel Racetrack

A camel might, at first, seem an ungainly animal, but it’s actually far more graceful than that. The desert-dwelling beasts can reach speeds of up to 65kmh and races are every bit as entertaining as you’re picturing right now.

Dubai’s famous camel racetrack, Al Marmoom, is open every winter if you want to watch camel racing – a centuries-old tradition – in Dubai. A must-see while visiting the city.

Opening dates and times vary. Al Marmoom Camel Racetrack, Al Ain Road (+971 4 718 8888).
