One of my favorite places in Al Ain is the camel race track at sunset. It is so peaceful out there, with the only sounds coming from camel hoofs pounding the sand track and the Toyota Land Cruisers following along side them. I could sit out there and watch these racing beasts for hours. There is this whole *other* culture out at the track. It feels very beduoin with a handful of farms scattered in the dunes. There quite a few people milling around out there, most of them are workers from other countries training the camels.
