Example of Dubai Camel Racing Club Jockey License
How to obtain the license:
You are already an experienced camel jockey and completed races that did not require the license:
– You can get in touch with the DCRC licensing department directly, and apply for the license with your Emirates ID, a passport picture and payment of 600 AED at the DCRC office. They will issue the license directly, as per their discretion.
You are riding camels but haven’t yet accomplished the levels required to be a jockey in a race:
– We suggest to find a training opportunity with us, or any other place that you deem suitable. Once you are ready to canter 1,200m, you will have to schedule a test day, where someone from the DCRC will assess your skills before issuing the license.
ADCRC helps to facilitate testing days throughout the year.
