EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by JWL, the excitement is palpable as jockeys and their camels take off at the start of a thrilling race at Al Shaqiyah camel race track. The air is filled with shouts of encouragement from their dedicated handlers, who wave sticks in anticipation of an exhilarating competition. Set against the backdrop of a vast desert landscape, these magnificent humped mammals showcase their agility and speed as they gallop across the sandy terrain. Dressed in traditional Arab headgear, both jockeys and camels embody the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East. The image transports us to a world where camel racing holds great significance - not only as a sport but also as a means of transportation for indigenous people like Bedouins. These majestic creatures have long been revered as pack animals, capable of traversing arid landscapes such as Oman's Wahiba Sands with ease. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that camels are more than just domesticated animals; they are true "ships of the desert". With every stride captured by JWL's lens, we witness the power and grace that make camel racing an awe-inspiring spectacle unique to this region on the Arabian Peninsula.
