My Saudi Arabia

I created this page to keep track of worth-visiting events that are happening in Saudi Arabia, mainly in Riyadh. I know that it can be difficult to find information about them, especially if you don’t speak Arabic.

Russian version

Now the information about the events in KSA is becoming more accessible, so I don’t see the need to write about all the events myself. Here I will keep only those that I had positive experience with.

For all events, I suggest that you check the following websites:

• Webook (English / Arabic, Announcements and bookings)
• Platinumlist (English / Arabic, Focused on performances and concerts)
• Visit Saudi (English / Arabic, Has information on many cities)
• Riyadh Season (English / Arabic, Specific to winter events in Riyadh)
• Eye of Riyadh (English, Conferences & Business events in Riyadh)
• Events 120 (English / Arabic, less popular source of events announcements)

So here are the ongoing events that I recommend:

• — Boulevard World, October 11, 2025, to May 2, 2026.
  This is definitely worth visiting!
  This is the festival’s fourth year, and it’s getting better and better. It has zones devoted to different regions and countries of the world (Asia, Egypt, Italy, Morocco…)
  You can read the details and buy tickets here.
  Five tips from me:
  1) Take cash! Some shops don’t have terminals
  2) Take a tour on the ship as soon as you come. It’s worth it.
  3) Come as early as you can, at 4 pm there is still not so many people as closer to the night
  4) Visit the Saudi zone! This year it’s enourmous.
  5) Enjoy pizza at the Italian island and crepes in the zone of France. Crepes are delicious. Try eating earlier, because as the evening comes, there are more tourists and the lines after food will become pretty long.

• Also almost every weekend there are events organized by the Working Line Traditional Equestrian Centre in Riyadh — for example, picnics in the desert. In May, I attended an evening of calligraphy and poetry, and even won a free riding lesson. Follow their account and monitor new events for yourself 🙂

And here is the list of past events that I have visited — probably they will take place again next year, so the information might still be useful.
