An excursion to the camel races, which take place on Thursdays and Fridays during the winter months, can be one of the most memorable highlights of any visit to Dubai.

At the race track on the edge of the city, visitors can view the exciting proceedings from the grandstand, wander around the paddocks, and buy camel "accessories", including blankets, rugs and beads from the nearby market.

Tourists on one of the organised overnight safaris may be lucky enough to see an early morning race at a remote desert track where spectators follow each event in a mad melée of four-wheel-drive vehicles.
