- Camel Jockeys: A Rough Ride Through Childhood
Sheikh Ahmed Fahed Al Sabah, center, the Kuwait Minister of Information, talks with other VIP's in the club house during the opening day of the 3rd annual Kuwait Championship at the Kuwait Camel Racing Club. When there is racing the rich Kuwaitis take to the leather seating in the grandstand to watch the boys race the camels around the track. After a victory one of the camel owners says that the jockeys make little difference. "The camel is good," said Satam Otaibi, then dismissed his jockey for not understanding the sport.
