Abu Dhabi has allocated prizes worth nearly Dh40 million, including 155 luxury cars, to the winners in a major camel beauty contest that kicked off in the emirate on Saturday.

The 10-day contest in Dhafra, an annual cultural event staged by the emirate’s heritage authority, has attracted thousands of camels from the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf neigbours.

Organisers said nearly Dh40 million worth of 155 cars, cash and other prizes would be distributed to the winners in one of the region’s largest camel pageantry event.
