This is the amusing moment a soccer fan from England is fascinated by camels racing roadside in Qatar as the World Cup winds down on December 13.

The filmer said: "Camel racing in Qatar is a huge sport and even has its own TV channel, which shows all the races. It’s a very interesting sport and totally different from horse racing, as the camels' owners follow the camels in their Jeeps, hollering instructions through a radio that the camel can hear through its saddle. The 'jockeys' are actually small robots, that even whip the camels, which comes via the press of a button from a mobile phone inside one of the perusing Jeeps. It’s that crazy!
The cars even hoot their horns to let the camels know their owners are with them for the ride. It’s completely bonkers and extremely funny for foreigners, but totally serious and lucrative for the owners. It was a great once-in-a-lifetime experience."
