White Camel Winners
The White Camel (Arabic: الإبل الأبيض) is the festival's highest prize, awarded for the best film. It consists on a white female camel, which is traditionally donated to the refugee family who had hosted the actors or director of the winner film during the festival. Instead, the winners take with them home a trophy depicting a white camel.
