Aspiring to become the largest entertainment event in the world, Riyadh Season 2024 is offering a comprehensive experience through a wide range of events and activities. Visitors can immerse in a variety of innovative experiences, including boxing and wrestling matches, music concerts, rich culinary experiences, captivating gardens, in addition to thrilling entertainment events.
This boost in turnout is driven by the mid-term break of the second semester. Families have travelled to Riyadh to enjoy a unique entertainment experience that caters to the needs of all age groups.
Furthermore, the Riyadh Season 2024 has opened new zones which draw more visitors. These include Dunes of Arabia, which attracts camping enthusiasts and adventurers, and the Boulevard Runway, which captivates aviation enthusiasts with interactive experiences aboard three Boeing 777 aircraft.
