What is Mazayen Al-Ibl?
The camel beauty pageants of the Arabian Peninsula.
Mazayen Al-Ibl (مزاين الإبل) are contests that judge the beauty of camels. The word comes from "zain", which means beauty.
Beauty
The judges look at the head, the neck, the ear, the eye, the nose, the lips and the hump, and at the harmony of the body.
Rounds
Rounds are divided by colour and age: a single round for one camel, and a Manqiyah for a group of similar camels.
Screening and judging
Before judging: Tashbeeh, Tasneen and the tampering check. After it, the results are announced and the winner raises the Bayraq.
Colours
Camels compete by colour: the dark Majaheem, the light Maghateer such as Wudh, Shaqh and Sufr, and also Shual and Humr. See Camel colours.
The Manqiyah
A Manqiyah is a group of similar camels shown together. The camels are placed in the front, the middle and the back, and the front has the largest weight in the score.
Tampering
Any unnatural change to the look of a camel to improve its appearance is called tampering, and it leads to disqualification. When a winner is disqualified, the reserve camel moves up.
