The King Abdulaziz Camel Festival in Al-Sayahid is currently underway, featuring an array of handcrafted items, traditional al-sadu weaving, and heritage attire, all emblematic of Saudi Arabia's rich cultural legacy. Artisan Helail bin Rizqallah Al-Harthi, who has devoted nearly three decades to this craft, highlighted his expertise in embroidery and weaving, utilizing pure silk and goat-hair threads.
Al-Harthi commended the nation’s dedication to preserving its heritage, noting a rising enthusiasm for traditional handmade items. He expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture for offering a venue to showcase these national heritage crafts.
Additionally, the SPA interviewed Munirah Al-Rabeeah, a trainer and expert in traditional attire, who has designed historical outfits inspired by notable Saudi women, such as Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman and Ghaliyya Al-Bogammiah. Her collection features the striped Najdi mutaffat, Taif's mubaqar, Hijazi mussaddah, along with men's daglah and women's egal, among other items.
Festival attendees can explore a variety of traditional designs, including garments, weaving techniques, cultural artifacts, and creative artworks that embody the essence of Saudi heritage across diverse dimensions. This event serves as an important platform to honor and maintain the country’s authentic cultural identity.
The pavilion hosted by the ministry has emerged as a key attraction, drawing crowds eager to discover Saudi Arabia's traditional arts, craftsmanship, and the commitment of artisans dedicated to sustaining these cultural traditions for generations to come.
