RIYADH: The newly opened Saudi Arabia zone in Boulevard World at Riyadh Season 2024 offers visitors warm hospitality, Saudi coffee, popular dishes, perfumes, incense, handicrafts, fashion shows and various entertainment experiences.

Since the launch of the season, the zone has attracted large crowds eager to learn about Saudi Arabia’s regions, heritage, handicrafts, cultures and history through presentations by young Saudis.

The zone also features attractive buildings that reflect the beauty and history of the Kingdom’s regions.

Boulevard World is open daily from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. This season, the area has expanded by 30 percent with the addition of five new zones: Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Iran, Africa and Courchevel, bringing the total number of zones to 22, representing diverse global cultures.

There are also 300 restaurants and cafes, more than 800 shops, and new events in the Egypt, Spain and Italy zones.

Theatrical performances from various countries further enhance the appeal of Boulevard World as a distinctive entertainment destination.

Meanwhile, Riyadh Season is offering free entry to its entertainment areas to senior citizens aged 60 and older in a move aimed at enhancing inclusivity.

Seniors can enter select areas by showing their Tawakkalna app at designated gates. The areas included in the offer are Boulevard World, Boulevard Runway and Wonder Garden, along with the standard free-entry areas such as Riyadh Zoo, Al-Suwaidi Park and Souq Al-Awaleen. They will also have access to Boulevard City and VIA Riyadh without the need for prior tickets.

The offer does not cover events with reserved seating, such as concerts, plays, boxing matches or special experiences, as these require separate ticketing arrangements.
