The winning camel's owners earned 200,000 Qatari riyals, or $55,000, for their animal's victory at Qatar's Mzayen World Cup on Friday.
These events are held regularly throughout the Middle East, where the people have connected with camels for generations.
Visitors were greeted by a camel jingle “Welcome to the Camel Competition” and served Karak, a spiced tea with milk. Owners and their families sat in an air-conditioned luxury tent with red velvet chairs and a glass wall to watch the competition.
