Al Marmoum Camel Racing

Every year there is an annual event which take place at a city full with skyscrapers, Its Dubai, just a few people around the world have an idea about the culture and traditions of this city, it worth spending your time at such cultural events while being in Dubai in addition to the modern city itself.

Millions are spent on this race every year, the single camel cost millions as well, its an expensive sport for the rich people in the gulf. There are other similar events, but 'Al Marmoum' Race is like the world cup of these events where people from other gulf countries participate as well. The event consist of multiple races with different categories, each winner of these categories will grab at least a brand new car as a reward.

I was thinking about getting an interested shot using a drone, so I started planning by visiting the place multiple times couple of days prior to the beginning of the event, I studied the best location and the best time of the day to get the perfect shadow of these camels, to have a story with the shadows rather than the camels themselves. the planning and the experience in drone photography is very important in such kind of events, because one single mistake can cause interruption to the race and will cost a lot

The event take place in UAE / Dubai / Al Marmoum Racetrack
