Guest guest Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Camel Polo: A Fun and Unique Activity in DubaiAuthor: Hannah Reinki - http://www.dailyworldbuzz.com/camel-polo-a-fun-and-unique-activity-in-dubai/2459\ 5/#ixzz0iK5S8bky *Polo* is a sport known as *the sport* of kings. Different versions arise from this sport. There was elephant polo known as the sport of Maharajahs. And now, there is a camel polo in Dubai. On March 03, 2010, Dnata a Middle East *travel management company* launched a different and distinctive Dubai version of the traditional polo game. This time it’s not played with horses nor elephants but the iconic desert-dwelling animals which are the camels. 12 polo-playing camels were selected for their size and ability. They have undergone 4 hours of training daily over the recent months in order to reach the peak of fitness and skill they demonstrate on the polo field. Two specialized coaches trained all the 12 camels. Dnata Company is always seeking ways to develop and enhance their products and services. They wanted visitors to enjoy a variety of different experiences and they came up to add camel polo. The sport is one of the ideal activities for team building. A training session for clients will be included in the camel polo experience. They will be taught of basic skills, and then they will have to put those skills into action through a match. There would always be two people on the camel – one will maneuver the animal and the other will play the polo. So, it turns out that there are two participants per camel, the player and the driver.
