Do you know that in the United Arab Emirates, as part of the Al Dafra Festival of National Culture and Customs, dog races are held?
At a signal, the greyhounds are chasing an imitation of an antelope. Spectators watch the race right from the inside of cars moving along a sandy track, the length of which is 2 thousand meters. This year, about two hundred purebred Arabian greyhounds saluki divided into 10 groups fought for the title. The owner of the winning dog received 50 thousand dirhams (13 thousand 610 dollars).
