President His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan entertains Chafik "Akabah" Chamoun at the camel races in Al Wathba, Abu Dhabi, sponsored by the United Arab Emarites Camel Race Federation. Zayed recently presented 26 camels and 100 million German marks to the Mirage German Camel Racing Club when he discovered its efforts to perpetuate his favorite sport in Europe. Chamoun is hoping to cash in on some of the Sheikh's benevolence.
