For those more at home on dry land there are golf courses, racecourses, riding and health clubs. Golf can be played at either the newly opened green golf course at Sakhir or the 18-hole sandy golf course at Awali . The skating rink and bowling alley at Busheri's in Budaiya has snooker tables and video rooms. There are ex-patriate rugby and cricket teams.
Football is the national game and Bahrain has an olympic-sized stadium.
Horseracing and camel-racing are also popular.
