Feast your eyes on Ismailia’s annual International Camel Racing Festival: 13 Bedouin tribes will be coming together this coming March in the desert surrounding Ismailia’s Fayed City to host the annual International Camel Racing Festival, which brings some some 150 camels and riders, usually children averaging 11 years of age, together to race around 3-15 kilometer tracks. Winners earn prizes from an EGP 100k pot, according to Egypt Today. Organizers are hoping the festival will draw in a larger international crowd this year.
