Camel races

by jungles

Camel racing is a very popular sport amongst Qatar's elite, and a good racing camel will fetch many thousands of riyals. Until recently young boys from poor third-world countries were used as jockeys, but international pressure has put an end to this practice, and the camels are now ridden by robots! The owners drive around the outside of the track in their four-wheel-drives, egging on their camels and controlling the whip held by the robot with a remote control. The racing season lasts through the winter until April or May, culminating at the 10 km Emir's race, which is where these photos were taken. The Emir himself was even in attendance. For smaller races you can follow the camels around the track as the owners do, but for the Emir's race you will probably have to sit in the grandstand, from where you can see the start and finish live and watch the rest of the race on the TV...

Womens Tennis Qatar Total Open 2005

by dannyffz

I witnessed the Qatar Total 2005 Womens Tennis Championship which was held in Doha, Qatar in early 2005 at the Khalifa Tennis Courts. I'm not a Tennis buff and I only went to watch the event due to the prodding of my friends. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed watching Sharapova, Hantuchova, Bovina, Myskina and many other good women players. I'll try to watch it again next year.
