Tomorrow The launch of the Crown Prince Camel Festival in its third edition in Taif

Crown Prince Camel Festival competitions will begin tomorrow, Sunday, at the Taif Governorate Camel Racing Arena. They are being put on by the Saudi Camel Federation and are being supported by His Royal Highness Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, who is Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defense (may God protect him).

The festival has awarded financial prizes which are considered to be among the highest prizes in sports competitions, totalling 53 million riyals, with hundreds of the most famous local, Arab and international camel drivers competing in two “preliminary and final” phases, with a total of 532 run, and the festival has allocated one million riyals for a The Sword of the Crown Prince – may God protect him – which will be won by the owner of the camel with the most points in the round general of the festival.

There will be 320 races in the preliminary phase of the festival, and camels of all ages will be able to compete. This phase lasts for 11 days. The marathon races will start on Thursday, Muharram 11, 1443 AH, which is August 19, 2021 AD, and go on until Thursday, Muharram 25, 1443 AH, which is September 2, 2021 AD. This phase ends with 204 races.

I find it interesting that the last two Crown Prince Camel Festivals were huge successes and a huge step forward for the ancient sport of camel racing in Saudi Arabia and among its fans. The most important thing was that His Highness the Crown Prince, may God protect him, attended the closing ceremonies of the first and second editions and gave prizes to the owners of the winning camels. The festivals also helped make the Kingdom the best place in the world to learn about and organize camel racing. The most important thing was that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia led an international camel federation with its capital city, Riyadh, and elected His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal as its president and His Highness Prince Fahd bin Jalawi bin Abdulaziz bin Musaed as its vice president.

The Crown Prince Camel Festival has also made things better on a social and national level, and it has had a big impact on both culture and the economy. It has had many successes since it began, including setting the record for the World Cup. In 2018, the Crown Prince Camel Festival was named the largest camel sport festival in the world, with 11,186 camels competing in 787 races and 13,377 camel jockeys taking part.

His Royal Highness Prince Muhammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defense (may God protect him), gives the festival a lot of support and cares a lot about the camel industry and its growth. He has a big plan that fits with the status of the kingdom and the hopes of its children and meets the needs of camel owners and sports fans all over the kingdom and the Arab world.

The Crown Prince Camel Festival aims to strengthen and promote the history of camel racing in Saudi, Arab, and Islamic cultures. It also wants to encourage tourism and business in the Kingdom in order to get more people involved, deepen the national heritage, and show how culturally rich the Kingdom is.
