The Al Dhafra Camel Festival is located some 180km from the city in the Western region. The event runs for 10 days and involves 23,000 camels and their owners. There's Dh42m (US $11m) of prize money up for grabs with everything from the prettiest camel to the fastest as well as poetry, date-packing and photography competitions all taking place. Come back tomorrow to see more of these magnificent beasts.

Did I read that right? The prettiest camel? Is there such a thing? ;-)
I've seen [on tv] some camels so dressed up, even a bride can't look more splendid, hahaha.
Yikes, what happened to this one's knees?
Last night I was wondering if camels would survive in Guyana, would they enjoy travelling through the jungle [instead of people using SUV's...just wondering].
Poetry! How interesting.
Yes lizziviggi, the prettiest camel award pays more than all the other competitions put together. Whilst most are ugly, I've seen a few females that can turn the head of a male (bull) camel instantly.
Guyana-Gyal, this camel was simply on its way up - Knees are fine.
An AWESOME camel photo! award winning in fact!
