If you thought camels were just the slow-moving plodders of the animal world, think again. These hump-backed creatures actually provide some of the speediest and bumpiest racing there is, as any well-seasoned traveller unfortunate enough to have had their bones vigorously shaken will testify.
With over 250 camels from 17 different Egyptian tribes, this will be something of a large-scale event, and the races promise to be thrilling.
Though the novice camel-rider is perhaps safest merely spectating during this festival, it is without a doubt a sight to behold. If you're in Sharm El-Sheikh for some diving, it is worth surfacing to witness an equally spectacular, though slightly less serene, example of nature in action.
