My name is Barti I am the pioneer of Camel racing tours in Dubai Camels were called Ship of the desert in the olden days, influencing every aspect of daily life by providing transportation, food, and shelter. But camels were also used for competitive races. Today in the UAE Camels are grown to provide milk and produce off-springs and special breed of camels are used for racing!
