The festival aimed to elevate camels as a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s rich heritage and as a source of both local and global pride and interest.
Spanning more than 30 days, the festival featured over 320 competitive rounds, including Mazayen, Hajij, Tabaa, and camel races.

The event showcased a variety of camel types, such as Majahim, Wadah, Shaqah, Hamr, Safar, Shaal, Asayel, Sawahel, and hybrid camels, according to SPA.
Dedicated categories were organized for both individual and group competitions, drawing extensive participation from camel owners across the Gulf region, the Arab world, and beyond. Notably, the festival featured the Princess Nourah’s Round, exclusively for women, highlighting their contributions to camel heritage.
The final day was a cultural celebration, with diverse activities for attendees. The cultural tent hosted various programs, including Hanna Lahaa performances, camel owners’ celebrations, and vibrant camel processions entering the Rimat gates to be showcased before judging panels.
