The Al Far racetrack in Al Shahaniya is the place to be during
April for the Emirs Camel Race. This race is an immensely popular
attraction for tourists and Qataris alike. Camels and their riders
compete for the prestigious Golden Sword as well as a number of
other prizes and trophies. The ungainly stride of the camels and
the shouting of their riders as they try to convince their steeds
to run in a straight line is worth the drive to Al Shahaniya
alone.
