Sadiq was a wonderful guide! We got a great behind the scenes view of the entire process. I would definitely recommended this tour.
It was quite an amazing adventure!! Camels racing with little jockey robots and their owners racing in their cars alongside the tracks, coaching and shouting into their microphones connected to the camel’s jockey robot. The camel leading the race early on is not usually the one that wins. The Murex tours is well organized. Our driver guide Sajid Khan picked us up and was very knowledgeable about the camels, the Qatari culture and history. We not only raced along several camels races but also held the robots, saw the process from the start of the race to end where bloodwork is done on the winners as well as scans of the robots. A tour and experience I highly recommend!
