In this January 30, 2017 photo, with the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in the background, a keeper feeds dates to female camels, at the Al Marmoom Camel Racetrack, in al Lisaili about 40 km (25 miles) southeast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Camel racing is a big-money sport and fast thoroughbreds can fetch well over a million dollars. As rising temperatures across Gulf Arab countries signal the end of the winter camel racing season, Dubai is wrapping up its races with the annual Al Marmoom Heritage Festival that has drawn thousands of camels from across the oil-rich Gulf.
