Exploring Boulevard World

In the heart of Riyadh, a vibrant celebration of culture and entertainment is hosted every year called Riyadh Season. Boulevard World, a key feature, stands as a testament to the opening of Saudi Arabia to the world and the world to Saudi.

In 2023 the area is 40% bigger than it was in 2022 and includes the world’s largest man-made lake, 1,180 shops, 120 restaurants and cafés and concerts and shows.

This magnificent event has something for everyone, young, old, families, tourists – native Saudis or International visitors. It is a must see attraction and attracts millions, who come to experience the fusion of tradition and modernity. This influx has a significant economic impact, boosting local businesses and showcasing Saudi hospitality to the world but also bringing other cultures to Saudi.

And best of all you won’t need a suitcase for this trip. You can “travel” to France, China, Mexico, America, India, Morocco, Spain, Italy and Greece without heading to the airport.

It’s not just about the food; it’s about the experience. Dining under the open sky, surrounded by the lively ambiance of Boulevard World, makes every meal a memorable occasion.
