Camel racing is an exciting and extraordinary sport, with large numbers of camels and their owners congregating at the racetrack. Camels are carefully bred for the track and reared on a highly nutritious diet. Juvenile jockeys astride oddly loping mounts generate tremendous exciting on these occasions, which are held mainly during National Day celebrations and other public holidays. Seeb is the center for this unique sport, which can also be seen in Salalah, the Interior and the Batinah region.
