In Saudi Arabia, the local Arabs spend hours building these elaborate stone pedestals under their vehicles. Can anyone explain this please?
 

In Saudi Arabia, the local Arabs take pride in their cars and enjoy showing them off for all to see! They spend hours building these elaborate stone pedestals by hand in order to put their vehicles on display to passers-by.

In the meantime, they live in those tarp covered "houses" in the background.

I use Google Translate
"I think that this ritual of a traditional folk festival to return to nature and the abandonment of luxury and modern means of cars and smart devices, phones, and they built simple tents and hunting animals and birds in old traditional ways"
 It is courteous to respect the ritual of others rather than ridicule them
