Al Sawan Camel Race Track

Discover traditional Emirati sports. Experience camel racing in Ras Al Khaimah at the 10-kilometer sand circuit track, Al Sawan Camel Race Track.

In the UAE, camels were a traditional source of milk and meat for sustenance, leather for shoes, and wool for clothing, rugs, and tents. Their dung was used as fuel, while their urine was believed to have medicinal properties. Camels were also the primary means of transportation, and camel racing became one of the nomadic people’s favorite pastimes.

Camel racing is a deeply rooted Bedouin and Emirati tradition. It continues today, a sign of the camel’s place in Emirati heritage and culture.
