It is said that more than a million football fans from all over the world visit Qatar, where the World Cup is being held.
However, in the flood of tourists who want to make memories in the first winter’s World Cup, the camels, the owners of the desert, suffer untimely hardships.
This is reporter Lee Seung-hoon’s report.

If there is a ‘fortune teller octopus’ during the World Cup in South Africa, there is a ‘World Cup camel’ in Qatar.
When asked who would win ‘Saudi and Poland’, he proudly stopped in front of the Saudi flag.
Exactly wrong.
I lost my face, but this ‘camel’ is the ‘best tourism’ product for this World Cup in Qatar.

So wherever there are nice desert hills, there are many camel riders.
To what extent, ‘if not now, when will I win it?’ Even if you increase the number of camels to 60, the long line of people waiting rather increases.

As a result, I had no choice but to decide on ‘overtime work’ until late at night and early in the morning… .
With the really uncomfortable rumor among tourists adding that ‘the dawn camel experience is the best’, the camel’s rest time has been further reduced.
If you calculate this numerically, the intensity of labor is said to have increased a whopping 50 times…
The saddest news for the ‘Qatar Camels’, who are literally playing ‘Hell’s Race’ now, is that the World Cup has now ‘barely’ turned the halfway point.
