Al-Sayahed, 8 Rajab 1447 AH (28 December 2025)

Rimat Gate today saw Al-Wadh camels enter the Birak Al-Muwahhad round as part of the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, in an exceptional scene reflecting the strong economic power and high market value of this category of camels, amid close attention from owners, investors and those interested in the camel market.

Individual Al-Wadh camels have earned the title "treasures of the earth" for their rarity and distinctiveness among all camel colors, as well as their high market value. The round saw 640 individual camels entered by 8 participants, at a rate of 80 camels per participant, in an event that combined the aesthetic quality of the individual entries with major economic momentum and strong crowd engagement.

Al-Wadh individual camels recorded unprecedented market figures, with the highest price for a single camel reaching around SAR 30 million, while the value of several other individual camels among the participants exceeded SAR 10 million, underscoring this category's exceptional standing in the local and Gulf camel market.

The average value of a single individual camel stands at around SAR 3.5 million, making the total market value of the participating Al-Wadh camels exceed nearly SAR 2 billion, a figure that reflects the scale of investment flowing into the Birak Al-Muwahhad round and the festival's growing economic role in energizing the camel market.

Observers and festival followers said the striking rise in individual camel prices reflects active economic movement within the Birak Al-Muwahhad round, as owners compete to strengthen their presence and secure advanced positions in the final stages through major investments aimed at raising the competitive value of their entries.

They noted that the focus on rare individual camels not only raises the level of competition but also doubles the round's economic significance, reinforcing the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival's standing as a leading platform bringing together heritage, investment and the cultural economy.

The entry of Al-Wadh camels into the Birak Al-Muwahhad round drew wide interest from owners and investors, who affirm that these camels are no longer merely a symbol of competitive prestige in camel arenas but have become an exceptional economic asset deserving of the title "treasures of the earth," thanks to their high market value and rarity, making them a focal point for the market and investment across seasons.
