AlUla is gearing up to host the First World Championship for International Camel Endurance on May 4, offering an impressive prize pool exceeding SAR 2 million.

The competition features a 16-kilometer race, divided into two stages, each covering 8 kilometers, with a 30-minute rest period separating these stages.

To reach the ultimate stage, the top 20 male participants and 15 female participants from the initial stage will qualify.

Furthermore, the remaining prize money will be distributed among the top 10 winners in each category.
