For 3 days, visitors can take part in conferences and round tables on a wide range of topics: architectural heritage, flora, fauna, sculpture, environmental protection, health, education, agriculture … There is art in various forms: crafts, painting, weaving … Local, regional, national and international artists are invited to take to the stage to perform poetry, story-telling, song, music and dance. Every year the festival welcomes an honorary guest. Competitive sport is an important element of the event, with demonstrations of nomadic hockey and a camel race
