WAM produces documentary ‘Camel Race Secrets’

-

 

This 12-minute documentary broadcast in 13 languages showcases the historical and cultural aspects of the sport of camel racing in the UAE, as well as the connection between camels and Emirati culture and how it shaped the national identity.

The documentary also addresses the UAE's pioneer international stature in organising camel races, becoming the world’s camel racing capital. The traditional sport was supported by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the country's leadership has followed his legacy.

The documentary also highlights the UAE’s model that prioritises camel, as the country has achieved progress in all areas related to camel breeding, in light of the current developments in veterinary medicine that have made complex operations possible despite their large sizes.

The documentary also sheds light on the secrets of camel racing in the desert, revealing the secrets of camel genetics that explain their levels of performance, along with the significant progress in the area of nutrition.

Through scenes from camel racing tracks in the country and abroad, the film also shows the interest of the UAE’s leadership and its support for preserving this authentic historical heritage, as well as its directives to establish festivals that cross the country’s borders, to present races full of energy and strength with sizeable prizes and intense competition, which have been occurring for decades.

The United Arab Emirates had successfully brokered the prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine. Recently, the two countries announced that they would be swapping 206 prisoners of war as part of a critical exchange that is easing the tension between the two nations.

The UAE, by arranging this exchange, proved not only its diplomatic excellence but also its commitment to humanitarian work amidst conflicts.

  President Jokowi is behind the idea to inaugurate the Cirata solar farm, which is a daring step for Indonesia into the solar energy spotlight. The project, a joint venture between Masdar in the United Arab Emirates and PLN in Indonesia, highlights the country's ability to undertake utility-scale solar projects.  At a cost of more than IDR 1.7 trillion, Cirata is an important proof of concept for Indonesia's solar goals. Masdar's participation—it owns 49% of the company—demonstrates a strategic partnership with a financially secure partner. The project's partnership concept, which depends on PLN as an equity partner, defies conventional market logic even if it is in line with international efforts to address climate change.    Masdar's accomplishments in Indonesia go beyond Cirata; the company has investments in Solar Radiance and a geothermal subsidiary of Pertamina. Masdar 's comprehension of Indonesia's distinct market dynamics is crucial, as it highligh...
