Riyadh, December 18, SPA-- Prince Misha'al bin Abdulaziz, Chairman of
Allegiance-Pledge Commission and Chairman of Supreme Steering
Committee of King Abdulaziz Award Festival for Pageant Camels
affirmed that the festival was aimed at preserving the heritage of

preservation of its successes which have been reflected in the large
turn out of participation of camels estimated at more than 19,000
heads from all categories in Umm Ruqaibah this year.
The Prince welcomed any constructive criticism or opinion that could
contribute to upgrading the festival which was named after the
founder late King Abdulaziz.

Abdulaziz, Deputy Minister of Interior; Prince Mohammed bin Fahd bin
Abdulaziz, the Governor of the Eastern Region and Prince Mohammed bin
Naif bin Abdulaziz, Assistant Interior Minister for Security Affairs

years.

General Commission for Tourism and Antiquities to take advantage of
the festival and invest it in tourism, commending in this regard the
interest of the Commission's Secretary General Prince Sultan bin
Salman bin Abdulaziz in activating and benefiting from the festival
as it is an annual public, popular and heritage event.
