Camel Racing in the Open Vast of Wadi RumEvery culture has traditions that connect present-day life to ancestral roots, but few remain as vivid and intact as Bedouin camel racing. Each autumn in Wadi Rum, the picturesque desert of Southern Jordan, Bedouin tribes gather for the Jordan Camel Racing Festival. Canadian-born Jordanian photographer Aziz Mousa has attended camel races with his family since childhood. Capturing the beating heart of this centuries-old practice, Mousa offers a firsthand look at cultural preservation, human connection, and the epic thrills of the races.
