Twenty camels were disqualified late February from the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Al-Musannah northen Oman,after veterinarians found evidence of cosmetic procedures, including Botox, lip fillers, silicone implants, and artificial hump inflation, which violates contest rules.

Camel beauty contests are a longstanding tradition in Oman and other Arab countries, where breeders showcase animals for features like glossy coats, long necks, and firm humps.

Media reports said the disqualifications are intended to maintain the integrity of the competition and encourage breeders to rely on natural attributes.
