The boys and I had a great time at the camel races. We had heard a ton about the races but they never seem to have consistent timings so we missed them entirely last year. I guess we just got lucky this year.

They draw the curtain from in front of the camels and they take off running, rather awkwardly, far into the distance. They run about 15 minutes and then head back to the finish line. It was very exciting and very strange, but we loved every minute of it!
