In this print captured by Jumana El-Heloueh, a mesmerizing sight unfolds as a majestic herd of camels gracefully traverse the arid landscape during the Mazayin Dhafra Camel Festival in Al Gharbia, Abu Dhabi. The year was 2010 when this annual event took place, attracting camel enthusiasts and spectators from far and wide. The festival is renowned for its distinct categories that showcase the beauty and heritage of these magnificent creatures. Divided into "Asayel" for pedigree camels and "Majahim" for dark-skinned camels, it celebrates their unique qualities and significance within Emirati culture. Against the backdrop of vast desert dunes, the image captures not only the grandeur of these animals but also highlights their resilience in adapting to such harsh environments. As they walk together in unison, one can almost feel their collective strength and unity. This photograph serves as a reminder of how nature's wonders continue to thrive amidst modernity. It encapsulates both the timeless traditions cherished by communities across generations and the deep connection between humans and animals. Jumana El-Heloueh's skillful lens has frozen this fleeting moment in time, allowing us to appreciate not just a visual spectacle but also an insight into a rich cultural tapestry where animals play an integral role.
