Al Ain is the site of the oldest settlements in the UAE, and the camel souk is one of the region's last. Bedouins and city-dwellers alike come here from all over the southern UAE and northern Oman to buy cattle, goats, sheep and camels. Most camels are raised for milk, leather and meat, but some will go on to become champion racers, to the delight of spectators at the Camel Race Track in Al-Marmoum.
