New Camel Jockeys
Camel competition is a long-standing tradition that was modernized in 2004. In Dubai, robot jockeys have taken the place of human jockeys. Since it is common for children to serve as camel jockeys in Gulf countries, the modern transition was inspired by a desire to escape human rights violations. Human jockeys have been outlawed in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and robot jockeys have taken their place. To end child trafficking and abuse, the United Arab Emirates, where Dubai is located, was the first to do so. Camel racing is a multi-billion dollar industry that many people are unaware of.
