Camel racing has made a comeback in Qatar.

After the total interruption of competitions due to the pandemic due to the coronavirus, the coaches had to interrupt the season.

Tradition in the Gulf, they are part of the country's heritage and welcome up to 13,000 camels from all over the region.

The animals are now equipped with mechanical jockeys, they are small robots that allow trainers to communicate with the animal.

Previously, young children, from the age of four, rode camels during the race.

As this practice is now illegal, children have been replaced by remote-controlled robots.
