Highlights
  • Al Shahaniya Racetrack - The entire territory is reserved for breeding, training and camel racing. As a rule, representatives of the local large Sudanese population are engaged in this, since they have long established themselves as experienced specialists in camel breeding. There are stables, a feed shop, and a large well-kept sand track where the camels travel over lengthy lengths of 10 to 15 kilometers (nowadays with robotic jockeys).

Camel racing is incredibly popular in Qatar, so much so that a whole television channel was created dedicated to broadcasting camel racing, both in Qatar itself and in other countries. The doors for visitors are open every day at 9:30 in the morning or in the evening, around 5:30 in the evening, it is at this time that camels are brought for training.

A visit to the Al-Shahaniya camel racetrack is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the best-groomed and most costly camels on the earth, some of which are worth one million Qatari riyals.
