Eighth Crown Prince Camel Festival Starts in Taif
The Crown Prince Camel Festival has launched its eighth edition in Taif, under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Muhammad bin Salman. The event takes place from the 21st of Rabi' al-Awwal to the 2nd of Rabi' al-Akhir, 1448 Hijri (September 3 to 13), with prize money exceeding 50 million riyals. The festival features 248 races across the most prominent camel categories, and for the first time, there are also Maasain (showcase) competitions for camels in various colors, along with contests for a cup worth 500,000 riyals for participating Saudis. In its previous edition, the festival set four Guinness World Records, including the largest number of participating camels, totaling 21,637 animals, representing a 93.5% increase in the number of camels compared to the first edition. This makes it one of the largest camel festivals in the world and an important supporter of national heritage and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
