In Oman, at the Camel Beauty Show 2026 festival, an incident occurred that resulted in the disqualification of 20 camels. The reason for the disqualification was the cosmetic procedures that the animals underwent. According to information provided by the Daily Mail and reported by the Kazinform agency, the contest veterinarians noticed signs of such enhancements, which led to the exclusion of the camels from the competition.
The camel beauty contest is an important cultural event in the Gulf countries, reflecting their historical heritage. It is worth noting that the prize funds for such festivals can reach tens of millions of dollars.
