What was meant to be a celebration of tradition and prized pedigree turned controversial at the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Al Musanaa, Oman, after twenty camels were disqualified for cosmetic enhancements.

Veterinary inspectors discovered that several contestants had been altered with substances more commonly associated with cosmetic clinics than desert showgrounds. Hyaluronic acid injections were reportedly used to plump lips. Dermal fillers and silicone were applied to refine nasal profiles. Botox softened facial features.

Some camels were even given hormones to enhance muscle tone, while silicone wax was used to inflate humps. Organisers, operating under the Camel Club and the Oman Camel Racing Federation, issued a firm response. “We are keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels,” they stated, adding that “strict penalties on manipulators” would follow.

Camel beauty contests in Oman are serious cultural events, not novelty spectacles. Judges evaluate animals in four main categories: coat, neck, head, and hump. A winning camel is expected to have shiny, well-defined hair, a long and wide neck, a large head with pendulous lips and long eyelashes, and a shapely hump carried with strong posture. Victory brings prestige, breeding opportunities, and, in some cases, substantial financial rewards.

The goat beauty contest was cancelled due to an incident in the dressing rooms.
