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. 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. Source: Saudi Press Agency
