Who among us believes that the camel club past three years ago, and that it supervised the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival in its third and fourth sessions, during the past year, the International Camel Organization (ICO) was established with the support of 96 countries, and that within one year three international events were held, the first of which was an international Camel Conference in Central Asia, then a Camel Festival was held in France, the last of which was the establishment of the Camel Farmers Association in Europe in Switzerland. The main role of the Camel Club is to supervise the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, the "main" festival in the world, which is witnessing an unprecedented development between each session and another, where the Chairman of the Camel Club Sheikh/ Fahad bin Falah bin Hethleen, continued to repeat: what has been accomplished did not achieve the goals pursued by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, the general supervisor of the Camel Club in the vision of the Kingdom 2030. The Kingdom has witnessed a new important achievement, when the Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO enlisted camels as a global cultural heritage. The club seeks to achieve what is always emphasized by the head of the International Camel Organization Sheikh / bin Hethleen on the importance of the presence of the cultural heritage of camels in cultural events and national celebrations, which enhances the transfer of this national cultural heritage and its practices by future generations, in a way that contributes to achieving sustainable development, protecting the intangible cultural heritage, and promoting social cohesion and world peace. Intangible cultural heritage contains all practices, expressions, knowledge, skills and associated machines, parts, manufactures and places that owners consider to be part of their cultural heritage. This inherited intangible cultural heritage has been the subject of societal creativity, generation after generation, continuously through the interaction between the environment and history and its direct contributions to the sense of identity and the promotion of values of respect, cultural diversity and the ability to creativity and innovation. Camel registration and its values as a cultural heritage represented in customs, traditions, customs and values that contribute to cultural and societal enrichment, and their inclusion reflects at the global level the Saudi heritage as a human heritage represents human creativity in adapting to animals at the world level, It is also a great success in preserving this heritage and inscribing it on the global list of the intangible heritage of humanity. Congratulations to the camel owners and lovers in the International Camel Organization, and congratulation for this global achievement, and great and untiring potential, with these authentic heritage capabilities, and congratulations to them for their great club, which gets a lot of support in the era of heritage, originality and slogan which says "Vigor to the Summit", asking the Almighty to preserve the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his pioneering government, and that support and victory to our brave soldiers on our southern borders and all over the Kingdom’s borders, and to save all humanity from the Corona Virus pandemic.
