In Saudi ArabiaA movie theater was made for the first time in 35 years, Efforts are made to break down the conservative tradition which has been continued, as men and women are allowed to watch games together at the football stadium.

"Akudurazu king camel festival" is also one such, the former camel festival was held in the desert, but since 2017 the venue was set up in the vicinity of the capital · Riyado to be held.

Among them, category-specific contests and auctions that can be said to be "camel miscons" are held, and the total amount of camels in the period is 57 million dollars (about 6.2 billion yen). Of course, a beautiful camel comes with a high price.

The "beauty" of a camel is contested by the size, lips and nose of the ears, besides the height, shape and position of Cobb. As I moved to Riyadh and became the first festival at the last time, there were owners who used medicine and others to cut out the appearance of camels, and because there were owners who cut their ears, in the 2018 festival which will be the 2nd Strict rules were set in advance.

However, even though the eye was dazzled by the contest prize of 20 million Saudi Riyal (about 580 million yen), there are owner who hands out cosmetic surgery, and 12 people were disqualified this year. However, if doping is discovered in the camel race, a fine of 50,000 dirham (about 1.5 million yen) will be imposed, whereas in Miscon it is not a fine setting. I think that it is possible to understand that someone who aims for getting rich quickly tries to get a prize money without getting ballet.
