Saudi camels captured 65% of the top spots in the Crown Prince Camel Festival rounds, just one day before the four final rounds at the historic Taif field.

 Saudi camels won 159 rounds, maintaining their strong performance across all categories and leading by more than 100 rounds over their closest competitors. They also secured three festival cups and the titles for both the men's and women's camel racing. Qatari camels came in second with 56 rounds, followed by Emirati camels with 18, Kuwaiti with six, Bahraini with five, and Omani with one.

 Since its inception in 2018, the festival has seen remarkable attendance from camel racing enthusiasts both inside and outside the Kingdom, aligning with its goal of celebrating and promoting the cultural heritage of camels in Saudi Arabia.
