Robot Jockeys
Camel racing is a real highlight in the Emirates. Children used to ride the animals, but now remote-controlled robot jockeys have taken over. These modern riders can be steered by radio and GPS – high-tech meets tradition.
The races mainly take place in the cooler months, and the largest track is located in Al Marmoom near Dubai. If you want to see the spectacle live, you shouldn’t miss this exciting mix of technology and culture.
