Najran: Camels occupy a special place in Najran society, serving as a deeply rooted symbol of cultural identity closely linked to the region's history and heritage.
According to Saudi Press Agency, camel training is a vital activity that prepares camels for racing by providing nutrient-rich feed to support healthy growth, ensuring access to clean water, and offering veterinary care through vaccinations and treatments that prevent disease. The success of camels in securing top positions in competitions and winning numerous awards is largely credited to the trainer's pivotal role, which requires exceptional skills, experience, and expertise.
The Najran camel racing track, covering 17,500 square kilometers and extending eight kilometers, features three tracks and serves as a key venue for daily training and preparation. It provides significant benefits to camel owners and trainers through year-round races, stimulating economic and tourism activity, and preserving the region's rich cultural heritage.
