Default Camel Racing in Dubai

Hi Everyone..

I'm interested to watch a camel race in Dubai. I tried to call Nad Al Sheba but was informed that they no longer do it. I've done some googling and found out that there's one in Al Lisaili in Ail Ain Road and another in Al Wathba, Abu Dhabi. Now I'm looking for their phone numbers to ask for more details, schedule of race, etc..but can't find it anywhere. I called etisalat but they are not listed. If someone here can help me, it will be really great.

Thanks!

The camel racetrack is out on the Al Ain road, just past the Ruby 7s stadium. Drive past the stadium, look for a petrol station, just beyond the station is a turn off the road, and make that right turn. You'll see a cluster of non-descript single-storey businesses on your right, along with a road. Drive down that drive and you'll see the new camel race track.

As for hours, I cannot tell you what the set race days are. But they occur fairly often, several times a week.

it seems it is on early morning and then again late afternoon, I watch it live on the horse racing channel.

I may be wrong, but Al Wathba is a football stadium?

I have been to the camel racing in AD and it was the Equestrian Club

BB will prob know, she will be along later
