A seasonal event in Wadi Rum at the camel race track. Because of laws prohibiting the use of children as camel jockeys, each camel is outfitted with a small remote-controlled whipping machine. The Bedouin owners follow the camel around the track in their pick-up trucks, yelling and using the remote control to encourage their camel to run faster.
i dont know how i got here but boy am i glad i did
Ikr?

I never knew camels could run so fast!
Same OMG!!!!!!! LOL
Same lol
40 mph top!
If feels so wierd that they run fast its like they don't deserve that...
I don't know a single person that ever has.
looks like something out of star wars
I've always thought of camels as those dorky little animals that walk slowly and look half asleep, and then I saw this movie, and they had camels running in it, and I was shocked because I guess I never really thought about it before! But I still think it's the funniest thing ever because they look ridiculous XD
Haha same with me xD
Camels are called as horse of a desert ...don't you know this? They run very fast in deserts ...
They are called ship of the desert

@@nakshnaz6846 yeah and one of the reasons too is that camel's leg dont sink into the sand where horses they do...
I swear I thought the camels ran away from their owners and they all got on their trunks and started following them to the end of the track.
Would you blame the camels?
@@chrisparker1267 no
@@chrisparker1267 what do you mean?
@@Tobirama258 at least we aren’t jailing them in one room to train for the rest of their lives like how you westerners do with horses 🤦♂️
@@chrisparker1267 also they don’t abuse the camels because camels would seek vengeance, and they have a very good memory, if they saw you once they might remember you decades later
There is a story of someone who abused a random camel, after more than 15 years he randomly saw the same camel again and the camel killed him
So cool! I randomly just googled can camels run. I didn’t know they could! They always seem so slow in the movies.
This was amazing: the men serve as the opening gates!! The mountains there look like the mountains in Death Valley, California. Thanks for vid.
I thought that camels were slow, lumbering beasts. I couldn't have been any more wrong.
Great race and fantastic footage !
Every single stereotype of Jordan: right here in this video.
I just knew that camels can run so fast by reading the history of Prophet Muhammad SAW. So I searched for "running camels".
Never realized they run that fast, i usually see them walk
according too google, the peak speed of camel is 65km/h, whereas the peak speed of horses is 40~45km/h
@@meri5012 damn, explains how the arabs have a good logistics and troop movements during their time with the byzantines
No, camels average 20-25 mph, horses average 25-30 mph, on average, horses are faster.
Oh yeah my bad, I looked for the peak speed for each and Google didn't display the 70km/h for quickest horse but did display the 65km/h quickest camel
Pulled from quora "Camels are faster in long runs, can carry more cargo, and are more able to handle terrible conditions. ... In moderate climates, horses thrive better than camels. In most of Europe horses are simply easier to keep around. In hot climates, Dromedary camels with one hump thrive better than horses."
this is great matt! beautiful footage!
Great job Matt, amazing footage !!
amazing. I want to be there. the mountains are crazy looking.
Southwest US desert has same mountains
I only gave it a thumb up because its in Jordan and I like the place.
awesome video brotha!
Camels are crazy yo!
0:31 Wow, the dude in the shield hoodie just ate shit.
The guy who fell, stood up and ran across the camels before they trampled him instead of just rolling under the fence is one lucky idiot.
nice video bro...i never look camel running like this..
How many miles do the camels run?
Better than raindeer?
beutifull camera !!
Hi Mattwe I am ask you if I can use this video in editing short film about the Camel Racing in Jordan with sign for you and your channel
amazing
When your race starts with a necessary trampling, you know you made the big time.
this is funniest thing ever because they look weird running haha
RT Podcast
Don’t mind me; just checking to see if the camel running animation in Assassin’s Creed: Origins is accurate.
The lack of organization & coordination among the men, it's amazing the camels all got off in the same direction 😅
Came here to compare Assassins Creeds camel running animation compared to real life. Wow, what a difference lol.
I don’t think people know just how big and fast camels are
Camel was being used as an Auto in the Bible times. And not Horses.
I wonder how the whipping machine works...and how effective it is :)
It’s not literal whipping. It’s touch with sound. More of sensation +sound. In GCC now it illegal to use this machine. It mainly sound with leather thing the whip touches, not the Camel.
@@draalahmadi thanks for the explanation
You obviously don't know what you're talking about
Safety not a big thing in Jordan, i see...
I was thinking since my childhood that camel can't beat tortoise
I am an Arab and I tell you that camels run very fast and are also characterized by being very enduring for long distances without stopping, as they can continue while jogging for hours
Oh, Camels can really run at 40 km/ hr 😮
great
this is fucking awesome
They sure can run.i didn't think so bcuz normally u seen them on tv walking
Bomb
When camels hears maliali song
How could people dress in long sleeves and jackets in the dessert? It's a genuine question
To hide from the sun. It's better if you are all covered up and also the material is different, lighter and very flowy, so it doesn't stick to your skin
And very cold at night
The material is extremely light, you don’t sweat as much as you’d think.
for anyone wondering why they can run their fast, its cuz of water they got in their hum
Came here because of JJBA : SBR
Avdol from SBR be like that
We stumbled upon this video after reading the Bible in Judges 6 where camels were used by the Midianites in warfare against the ancient Israelites. Surprised they run so fast!
They were used in war by arabs in every battle until a century ago
So this is where khabib is from

why that shit looks scary lmfaooo😭😭
They run soo weird 🤭🤯😳😳😳😳
Sheeeesh
In desert Camel > Horse
Who came here because you saw the midgets racing against a camel?
Came here from jojo part 7
He's right camels are faster then horses you would ask why camels weren't used as horses back then ill tell you why camels in in a way that makes it easy for passengers to fall and camels are suited for deserts.
No they're not, horses are faster
@@alexmoreland7938 No, camels can reach a top speed of 40 mph/ 64 kmh, while horses can generally reach up to 30 mph/ 48 kmh. While horses can retain this speed for a much longer time, camels are the faster animal. While on average, it may be different, a camel is still faster in the short-term.
Lol wtf? No it’s not
Omg... how can camel run so fast, I'm shocked. I always saw them walking slowly on TV
I am an Arab and I tell you that camels run very fast and are also characterized by being very enduring for long distances without stopping, as they can continue while jogging for hours
These people are being extremely unsafe

Humans are weird
Why? Its a race kid
I bet you wouldn’t comment that on a goofy american horse race
