“The AlUla Camel Cup trophy is a majestic, priceless piece of silverware – featuring camels, rock art, our logo, the desert, and AlUla – that pays homage to how prestigious the AlUla Camel Cup is, and the region’s beauty and allure.

“Elegance, grace, and stunning artistry emanate from every inch of the AlUla Camel Cup trophy, inspired by our destination, and it is a worthy prize to be presented to the inaugural ‘Champion of Champions’.

“The creation of this beautiful trophy has been a collaborative process between the Royal Commission for AlUla and Thomas Lyte, and we thank them for the dedication and skill they have shown in crafting the exquisite AlUla Camel Cup.”

“The genius of this trophy lies in the way that it has been created, combining traditional skills with innovative modern methods. Some of the skills used go back to pre-Roman times and have been incorporated with state-of-the-art techniques such as 3D printing, scanning, and engraving.

“At Thomas Lyte, we feel that is particularly befitting for AlUla and the AlUla Camel Cup, an event that very much reflects the merging of tradition and modernity. We have relished the fantastic challenge of bringing thousands of years of history to life in this resplendent modern-era trophy.

“Trevor Brown, our lead silverware designer, has worked exclusively with the team at RCU and AlUla Moments, taking inspiration from the majestic camel – including the finest details of its movements incorporated in decorative elements – AlUla, and the wider region itself”
