One of the things to do Abu Dhabi is visiting the camel market. Camels of all age categories accommodate the place – the adult camels ready for racing are the most impressive. The place is a tourist attraction so much so the vicinity is dotted by the likes of Anantara Eastern Mangroves Abu Dhabi Hotel.
The location
15km away from downtown Al Ain is the camel market which poses a distinct difference in contrast to the bustling city.
Trading
Trading of the camels takes place early in the morning, although tourists can see the animals from morning to dusk.
A tourist attraction
Visitors can take pictures if they wish, and also attend the mock races. The highlight of the place is the locals driving up to the market – they usually arrive in pickups filled with sheep and goats in the hopes of striking a good bargain.
Opening hours
The market place is open from 6 am to 7 pm, but on Fridays and Mondays, the market is open from 3 pm to 5 pm.
