    RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, December 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The event, first held in1985, draws an annual average of one million visitors and ensures that Riyadh hotels are quite busy. The event draws such a large volume of visitors due to its varied performances, events and cultural exhibitions. Camel racing is an integral part of the festival's activities and offers spectators the chance of witnessing a time-honoured pastime and sporting occasion.

Some of the most skilled camel jockeys are barely into their teens and visitors at past festivals have said that it is an exciting spectacle watching them control the beasts. Among other festival offerings are traditional war dance (arda) performances, poetry readings, opera recitals and folklore troupes giving renditions of ancient legends.

Cuisines comprising regional specialities display the diverse ingredients that are used in concocting the dishes that are offered for festival visitors' delectation. Carrot cake is the national sweet and is often handed out as a complimentary morsel. The Al Janadriyah festival allows visitors to get a taste of the multi-culturalism, folk arts and culture that have formed Saudi Arabian society and traditions.
