Doha, Qatar-based photographer Alexandre Mounayer captured amazing shots of the annual Camel Speed Racing in the city of Al Shahaniya – a traditional event in that location.
Camel racing “سباق الهجن”, traditionally known as the sport of the Forefathers, is held every year in the city of Al Shahaniya where Qatar’s popular camel racetrack is located. The small device on the camel’s back is a wireless whip controlled by the owner that is driving on the parallel side of the track. The Camel Speed is around 40 km/h.
