Egypt's camel racing shifts into high gear
The Egyptian government seeks to modernize camel racing by establishing a new international racetrack and opting for robot jockeys.
Camel racing in Egypt dates back to 1992, but the country now strives to take this sport to a new level through international races and the use of robots that replace the child jockeys.
Last month, the Egyptian authorities announced the inauguration of the first camel racetrack in Egypt, hoping it would contribute to the country's ailing tourism sector.
