La capital saudita realiza un importante festival que cuenta con su propio concurso de belleza de cuatro patas, ya que participan más de 15.000 camellos del Reino.





El desfile de camellos fue una costumbre del desierto local que ahora se ha transformado en una gran competencia, con premios y regalos por millones de riyales saudíes.

Los camellos son numerados electrónicamente y deben pasar las pruebas médicas. Los ganadores recibirán premios bajo diferentes categorías.

Los organizadores del festival planean transformar el evento en un festival internacional.
