Camel races at Sweihan

 The Sheikh's compound  - opened for the races. I think it was used for accommodation and there is an emergency mosque for prayers
 The racing machines arriving at the stadium with their minders


 The stadium from a distance
 A competitor on its way to the finish line
 The finish line, with the commentator and photo finish boys

 The ladies participating in the traditional dancing

 loose race camel... it lost its rider in the 1500m dash

 A group of Emirati girls hanging off the well in the traditional village
 one of the traditional bedu tents
Traditional houses made out of the traditional constuction materials - wood and vegetation, used as stalls in a market at the races
