Kuwait whilst certainly on the dull side does have some very unique and enjoyable things to do. When I was last there I went for sunrise camel racing which was an experience that I am not sure I will be able to replicate any time soon and if you ever get the chance to go then I highly recommend it.

For those of you who may not have had the chance to experience this, I will attempt to explain some of how it works:

- Imagine a handful of camels, each with a walkie-talkie attached to its hump
- This handful of camels is in a fenced off race course (very similar to standard horse racing except instead of lush green, it is Saharan sand)
- The camels' owners/trainers drive alongside the course in their 4x4s (90% of which are Toyota Land Cruisers)
- From the cars the owners/trainers yell at the top of their voices into the walkie-talkies attempting to encourage their camel to run that little bit faster
- At the end of the morning's racing there is a scrumptious meal set up in the club with copious amounts of food and Arabic qahwah and tea
