EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by FAYEZ NURELDINE, a mesmerizing caravan of camels gracefully traverses the vast desert during the annual King Abdulazziz Camel Festival in Rumah, Saudi Arabia. The image transports us to a world where time seems to stand still, as these majestic creatures navigate the arid landscape with an air of regality. The 28-day long festival is not just any ordinary event; it showcases the unique bond between humans and animals. At its heart lies a camel beauty contest known as Miss Camel, where participants compete for prizes amounting to an astounding $30 million. This extravaganza celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia and pays homage to these magnificent animals that have played an integral role in Bedouin life for centuries. The panoramic view captures both the grandeur of nature and the magnificence of these gentle giants. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of their resilience and adaptability in harsh environments like deserts. The photograph's horizontal composition allows us to appreciate every detail - from each camel's distinctive features to their synchronized movement across the sandy terrain. This offbeat spectacle offers a glimpse into Middle Eastern traditions that have been passed down through generations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization, ancient customs continue to thrive – bridging past and present in remarkable ways. Fayez Nureldine's lens has beautifully frozen this moment in time, inviting us into a world where camels reign supreme and culture
