Well, some colleagues and I are going to try and see if the camel races are going on tomorrow.

Did you go/find it?Ìý How was it?

I never had any luck finding it, i think the info on the tourist website is outdated.

There are no camel Races during the Summer months in Riyadh. The camel races are still goin on in Taif.

would you happen to know where?

There are 2 locations. 1 is the horse trak on Thumama Rd. The other is 1 mile past kingdom hospital towards themamuh, just off of Themamah road.

cute!!!
