Description
Janadriyah Festival

This festival is a treasure of Saudi culture and heritage and can be compared with those of Williamsburg in the US and Louisburg in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Festival itself owes its origin to the Camel Race, which up to the mid-eighties, was the only major activity that brought the country back to its heritage.
The main objectives of the Festival however remain, as one Saudi intellectual rightly puts it, to give recognition and prominence to the solid bond that exists between the old Saudi Cultural Heritage and the present accomplishments of the Saudi Society & the Nation as a whole.
