Two male camels are led into a marked ring by their handlers during the season when they are naturally competitive.
2
The camels push, lean, and try to force each other off balance or out of the ring, without biting.
3
Handlers stay close with ropes to safely separate the camels the moment the match looks unsafe.
4
A camel wins by making its opponent step outside the ring, sit down, or turn and walk away.
5
The festival continues with a new pair of camels for each following match.
