My parents arrived late the night of the 30th of December. We had a big week planned including a day at the races, a night at the W and a trip to Egypt. We planned on going to the famous camel races here in Doha so we got all the info from friends who had gone before, packed a big lunch and headed to the track...or so we thought.
We arrived, seemingly on time (even after a few wrong turns) to find we were the only people there...
 |
| We started to see some camels so we were excited |
 |
| But then saw the empty stands... |
 |
But then some more camels....confusing!
Note: the little "robot" on the top of the camel on the left is the "jockey"
The cars on the right are there to follow the camels around....yes, only in Doha. |
 |
| This guy was more than happy to have his photo taken...and also told us the race started at 2pm. (It was 1:35 at the time) |
We then drove around a bit, only to find that no, there would be no camel races today....
 |
| They were just taking them out for a spin. |
 |
| Better luck next time.....It was definitely a "Doha Moment" |
