In Saudi Arabia, it has been announced that camel passports will be introduced, marking an important step in managing the country's cultural and economic traditions, according to information from Kazinform.
The Minister of Environment, Water Resources, and Agriculture of the kingdom noted that this measure will significantly improve control over animal ownership rights and enhance the efficiency of the sector by creating a reliable centralized database.
Each passport will contain information about the camel, including its breed, owner details, and vaccination records. This document will be necessary for the transportation and sale of animals, simplifying the process of determining ownership and protecting the owner's rights.
According to Gulf News, in 2024, there were about 2.2 million camels in the country, which embody the cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia. The kingdom also hosts the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival annually, which is a major cultural and sporting event attracting numerous participants.
