About this experience
Camel racing (sometimes referred to as "camel racing" in the traditional sense) in Kuwait takes place weekly every Saturday during the sports season at the Martyr Fahad Al-Ahmad Field, and lasts for several weeks (24 weeks). It usually begins in September with the launch of the new season and continues until spring, with special international championships during the season.
We will visit the Kabd area to watch the camel races. Before the race begins, we will take photos with the camels. We will then follow the race until the end, either from the track or by driving alongside the camels. We will also take many pictures in the desert, and after the race, we will ride buggies.
