| CAMEL RACING
|
| Reflecting the traditions of the desert, the role of the camel has been given much attention. Once it carried the people across the sands, providing at the same time milk, meat and leather, while its shoulder-blades were used as little 'blackboards' for children studying. Now proper school equipment is available from other sources, as is leather, but many local families still keep a few for meat and for milk. To encourage them to do so, the government offers subsidies to those who still keep this noble and historic beast of burden. Camel-racing has become one of the country's most popular spectator sports. |
