The Crown Prince Camel Festival has set a new record, with its sixth edition attracting an impressive 21,637 participating camels.
This figure marks a 93.5% increase over the first edition, and brings the total number of camels registered in all six editions to 98,929.
The festival's first two editions, in which 11,178 and 13,377 camels participated, respectively, were recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest camel races in the world, according to SPA.

The third, fourth, and fifth editions saw registrations of 14,843, 17,669, and 20,216 camels, respectively.
The latest record was registered just as 2024 was designated the "Year of the Camel" to celebrate the unique cultural significance of camels in life on the Arabian Peninsula.
The festival reinforces the camel's established position as a cultural heritage and an essential component of civilizational development.

The White Stripes sued former President Donald Trump on Monday in a case that alleges he used their hit song “Seven Nation Army” without permission in a video posted to social media.

The band has accused Trump and his presidential campaign of copyright infringement for playing the song's iconic opening riff over a video of Trump boarding a plane for campaign stops in Michigan and Wisconsin last month.

The Trump campaign did not immediately return an emailed request for comment.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, said the band was also objecting to Trump's use of the song because members Jack White and Meg White “vehemently oppose the policies adopted and actions taken by Defendant Trump when he was President and those he has proposed for the second term he seeks.”

Several prominent musicians have previously criticized Trump for using their songs at rallies. Last week, a federal judge in Atlanta ruled that Trump and his campaign must stop using the song “Hold On, I’m Coming” after a lawsuit from the estate of Isaac Hayes Jr.
