The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) said that the second edition of AlUla Camel Cup will be held in collaboration with the Saudi Camel Federation in the Old Oasis from April 24 to 27, 2024.
This year's competition falls in the "Year of the Camel", which the Kingdom declared in recognition of the significant cultural value of the camel and its enduring link to Saudi Arabian heritage.
Significant cash prizes and trophies will be awarded to winners, encourage participation and raise the level of the competition.
RCU Chief Sports Officer Ziad Alsuhaibani said that AlUla Camel Cup is a prominent event in the global camel competitions, and that it strengthens the Kingdom's position as a premier global hub for heritage sports.
RCU's Vice President of Destination Management and Marketing Rami AlMoallim said that AlUla Camel Cup resonates with the passion of Saudi society, and has a deep cultural significance as it reflects the Kingdom's enduring heritage and traditions.
The success of the inaugural tournament last year emphasized the importance of camels in Arab culture, seamlessly connecting the past with the present.
