Bullfight at Fujairah

Posted on Saturday, January 8, 2011 in Personal

On Friday in Fujairah, a crowd gathers around a ring opposite of Fujairah corniche to watch pickup vans unload Bulls. A couple of bulls dig their hooves threateningly into the ground, apparently getting ready for the charge. The bullfighting takes place in a square open area surrounded by a fence and the fights take between five to 
ten minutes.

The match is supervised by  an elderly man who is well versed in the rules of the game. His decision on when to end the fight and declare the winner is final. “Bullfighting is a tradition in Fujairah,”

The owner of the bulls will be inside the ring to control it. And the bulls come from all emirates. In Fujairah, however, bullfighting has been transformed into a form of entertainment on Fridays.

It was really very fun,a nice entertainment on friday. The bullfighting starts by 4.30 in the evening and end in 1 hour.
