The Saudi Post (SPL), in cooperation with the Saudi Camel Federation, issued a postage stamp for the Crown Prince Camel Festival. The festival aims to preserve and highlight the camel heritage in Saudi, Arab, and Islamic cultures, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday.
The stamp is named after Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, and enjoys his patronage.
The Crown Prince Camel Festival has received global attention since its launch, especially after it entered the Guinness World Records as the largest camel racing festival in the world.
The number of camels participating in the first edition in 2018 reached 11,178, increasing to 13,377 in the second edition and 14,745 in the third edition. The fourth edition reached 14,843, while the fifth edition in 2023 broke the records of the past four editions by reaching 20,216 camels.
The postage stamps commemorate a significant event or a prominent moment in Saudi history, making them an ideal choice for collectors and historians.
