Sports events Sharjah

Camel racing is part of the country's heritage and is very popular with the royal families and the emirates. Today, robot jockeys have replaced the children who once rode the camels. The owner follows the race in a car on a circuit parallel to the camelodrome and controls either the whip or the tension of the reins from a distance. To attend, don't look for the schedule, it doesn't exist! Go early in the morning on Fridays between November and March!

Since 2000, the city of Sharjah has hosted the final race of the Formula One World Championship on the Corniche in late December. The boats, driven individually, are launched at full speed on the waters of the Khalid lagoon, which allows the large crowd that comes every year to watch the competition from the huge corniche, in complete safety. A unique and exciting sporting event despite the decibels of the machines.
