A day celebrating the Bedouin heritage of Kuwait, where the desert (badiya) is not just a landscape but a way of life. The Bedouin tribes of Kuwait (the Mutair, the Awazim, the Rashaida, and the Huwala) have lived in the desert for centuries, moving with their camels and goats from winter grazing to summer shade. The day is marked by camel races at the Kuwait Camel Racing Club in Kabad, falconry demonstrations in the desert, and the preparation of traditional Bedouin food: mathrooba (a thin bread porridge), machboos (spiced rice with meat), and gahwa (Arabic coffee brewed with cardamom and saffron). The desert is the soul of Kuwait, and the Bedouin are its voice.
