Thanks for this.
Is this the last of all the camel racing for this season?
not sure, it usually ends in march
Ok thanks. I’ll keep a look out for any further camel racing posts. 😊
Am so glad they decided to do away with child jockeys. Suddenly, it became a respectable sport and lifted it to a different stratosphere. Can you bet on the camels at the races ?
Thanks, Mark for the information. Today I could visit the spot and I enjoyed watching. I should say, it’s a MUST watch in Kuwait Country.
I have clicked a few photos. You may share it with courtesy. Thanks.
