An annual event taking place usually in February (dates may later) for the Arab Leagues countries. The racing takes place at the Kuwait Camel Racing Club in Kabd. The racing seasons runs between November and May with the weather thereafter being too hot for the animals to run.

In olden days, Arabs famously used to refer to the camel as 'the ship of the desert.' Camels remain very popular in the Arab world generally and in Kuwait and the GCC countries in particular, with numerous camel-oriented activities and competitions, such as camel racing and camel beauty contests among others.
