General context: Boulevard World within the Riyadh Season vision
This event is part of the broader Boulevard World initiative, a permanent global entertainment destination within Riyadh Season. Overseen by the General Entertainment Authority, Riyadh Season aims to transform the Saudi capital into a world-class tourist and entertainment destination, aligning with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to diversify the economy and enhance quality of life. Boulevard World brings together diverse cultures and civilizations from around the world in one place, with the Egyptian zone serving as a cornerstone of this cultural gathering, given the deep historical ties between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The importance of the event and its expected impact
Locally, the Egypt Zone offers an ideal destination for families and individuals in Riyadh to enjoy enjoyable Ramadan evenings, combining entertainment, culture, and delicious cuisine for Iftar and Suhoor. Regionally and internationally, this zone enhances Riyadh's position as a tourist hub in the Middle East, attracting visitors from the Gulf countries and the Arab world to experience Egypt's rich culture without having to travel. It also serves as a platform for cultural exchange, showcasing Egyptian arts and folklore, from Tanoura dance performances to folk groups, to a diverse global audience, thus contributing to a positive image of the entire region as a meeting point of civilizations.
The integrated experience in the Egypt Zone includes more than just food and shows; it allows visitors the opportunity to shop in small bazaars that mimic Egyptian markets, where they can buy souvenirs, handicrafts and traditional products, making the visit an unforgettable memory and a key stop for anyone looking for a unique and different Ramadan experience in the heart of the Saudi capital.
