The Rai Alnadhar platform, sponsored by the Saudi Camel Club, has achieved a global milestone by being listed in Guinness World Records as the largest digital platform dedicated to human heritage and camels worldwide.
Camel Club Chairman of the Board of Directors Sheikh Fahd bin Falah bin Hathleen received the Guinness certificate, marking significant international recognition.

According to SPA, this achievement coincides with the platform's success in hosting the "Mongaiyat Al-Jazeera" competition this year, which garnered unprecedented engagement from camel and heritage enthusiasts. The event reflects Saudi Arabia's ability to blend tradition with modern technology.
As one of the key digital initiatives of the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, the platform aims to strengthen and document the public's connection to camel heritage. Within just 20 days, it has attracted a record number of users and over 30 million visits.
With this achievement, the platform reinforces its status as a digital icon of heritage, paving the way for further innovations in integrating Saudi cultural identity with modern technologies, thereby enhancing the Kingdom's reputation as a global hub for excellence and innovation.a
