U.S. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Melanie Haynes, from Del City, Okla., with Ali Nasser Al Naimi (far right), a Qatari camel owner, at a camel race track in Al Shahaniyah, Qatar, Feb. 21. "This was a great opportunity to enjoy Arabic culture in a peaceful atmosphere," said Haynes, participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program in Qatar, a Gulf state located on the eastern coastline of the Arabian Peninsula. During her four-day pass from duty in Iraq, she was sponsored off the U.S. military installation to witness a popular local past time: camel racing.
