A camel festival is being held in a Saudi Arabian desert. Fifty thousand camels are on display, competing to see who is the prettiest. The winner of the beauty pageant and their owner gets the equivalent of $31 million.

The festival occurs on 12 miles of the ad-Dahna desert. The festival was started in 1999 by camel raising bedouins.
