From centuries past to modern-day majesty, these “ships of the desert” have carried Bedouins across vast sands and starred in prestigious camel festivals. They’re not just animals; they’re a symbol of Saudi pride, culture, and heritage. Therefore, the Kingdom officially announced that 2024 would be the year of camels. Saudi’s Minister of Culture, Bader bin Abdullah bin Farhan Al Saud, stated: “In 2024, we celebrate the camel as a highly valued cultural symbol, a key pillar of our authentic national identity, and a source of pride in every stage and domain.”

This show is definitely a great way to celebrate the year of the camel, watch the full trailer here!
