Nomad Universe 2019

Huge Success for World´s largest Ethnofestival “Nomad Universe” in Saudi Arabia

The World Ethnogames Confederation (The Kyrgyz Republic) in cooperation with the Camel Club (Saudi-Arabia) made history in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. For the first time ever a global cultural event with 2,000 participants from more than 100 countries were hosted from March 9-19, 2019 in the framework of the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival.

Main goal of “Nomad Universe”, which has no comparable counterparts worldwide, was the preservation and revival of historical heritage and diversity of the original culture of peoples and ethnic groups from all over the world. 2,000 participants performed & presented their cultural treasures in Art, Sport & Science.

All participants, such as 35,000 visitors per day from all points of the Arabian Peninsula were astonished and amazed by the great unity & friendship between so many different cultures. The festival was surrounded by a great feeling of peace and intercultural dialogue. “Nomad Universe” was an expression of the cultural and historic tradition and spiritual identity of its practitioners and served to unite communities regardless of social status, fostering a culture of teamwork, responsibility and respect.

Ethno-Sport competitions were being performed, among others, like Horse Competition “Kok Boru”, Horseback Wrestling "Er Enish”, Traditional Archery and Traditional Hunting with Falcons, Golden Eagles and Taigan dogs "Salbuurun". Aside from ethno-sport competitions, art & science was also an important element. Cultural activities were uniting the crème de la crème of ethno-cultural artists, folklore groups, ensembles such as famous sculptors and painters from all over the world.

Because of the great success of “Nomad Universe”, Saudi Arabia will further host the Festival annually until 2030.
