What is Alheda’a?
Alheda’a is a combination of sounds, gestures, and sometimes musical instruments used by camel herders across Arabia to communicate with their camels. A folk art passed down through generations, these rhythmic expressions, inspired by poetry, form a unique vocabulary that camels seem to understand and obey.
