The organizing committee of the Saudi Games 2024 has announced a collaboration with the Ministry of Culture's "The Year of the Camel" initiative, aiming to promote its goals and message.

The torch, medals, and victory bouquet of the third edition of the Saudi Games will embody the visual identity of The Year of the Camel initiative. The initiative seeks to introduce the camel as a significant cultural, historical, and civilizational symbol in the Kingdom and to strengthen the deep-rooted relationship between generations of society.

The collaboration is part of joint efforts between various sectors to enhance the cultural presence in events hosted by the Kingdom and to solidify the deep-rooted relationship between Saudi society and the camel from generation to generation.

The initiative aims to achieve several goals, including preserving the national identity, introducing future generations and the world to the camel, highlighting its economic importance and role in achieving food security, as well as introducing the civilizational value of the camel and the customs associated with it, its rich cultural and historical heritage, and showcasing its unique capabilities that have earned it a distinguished place in Saudi culture.
