The national sport is football. Doha boasts several marinas, sub-aqua clubs and sailing facilities as well as a number of sports clubs which are open to visitors. There are several camel race tracks; the main one is found off the road to Dukhan, but spectators need a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to follow the race. The graded track is 18km (11 miles) long through the desert and sometimes more than 250 camels take part with big money prizes and prestige at stake. Desert excursions can also be arranged.
