Riyadh, February 2, 2025 – In a remarkable fusion of tradition and craftsmanship, the Saudi Camel Racing Federation has unveiled the exquisite trophies for the highly anticipated 2025 Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Camel Festival. Designed with a gleaming golden finish, the trophies are inspired by the iconic Al Janadriyah Village, a symbol of Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage.
The second edition of the prestigious festival, which kicked off earlier this week on Monday, is set to feature a total of 225 exhilarating camel races, making it one of the largest events of its kind in the region.
