Jubail Colors Festival kicks off: Tourist events extending through Ramadan and Eid
Jubail Industrial City is preparing to host an exceptional tourism event next week, with the launch of the "Jubail Colors Festival" at the Jubail Bay Marina, organized by Admkins. This massive carnival will run for three full months, covering key periods including the holy month of Ramadan and the Eid al-Fitr celebrations, in a move aimed at strengthening the Eastern Province's position as a leading tourist destination in the Kingdom and the Gulf region.
A strategic shift in Jubail's identity
Jubail is no longer just a global industrial hub; the city is undergoing a tangible transformation towards humanizing its cities and improving the quality of life, in line with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030. This festival showcases another side of the city, leveraging its advanced infrastructure and stunning beaches. The events blend modern industrial elements with natural marine beauty, creating a unique visual and entertainment experience that helps change the stereotypical image of industrial cities and transform them into tourist and recreational destinations for families and individuals.
A visual experience that blends technology with nature
The festival features innovative light and art displays using the latest visual technologies. The venue has been transformed into an open-air theater, blending the vibrant lights with the tranquility of the sea at Jubail Marina. Al-Anoud Al-Rumaih, General Manager of the organizing company, explained that this event represents a qualitative leap in the region's entertainment industry. She noted that the festival's extended duration allows for the presentation of fresh and flexible content suitable for different weather conditions and seasons, from the current winter season to the spring evenings.
A diverse agenda that takes into account the spirituality of Ramadan and the joy of Eid
The organizing committee meticulously planned the festival's schedule to respect its unique timing. With the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan, the events will take on a spiritual and cultural character befitting the sanctity of the month, blending Islamic and contemporary arts and providing a distinctive evening destination for those observing the fast and for visitors alike. Following Ramadan, the festival will transform into a festive celebration, offering joyous festivities that reflect the happiness of Eid al-Fitr, thus ensuring continued tourist appeal throughout the three-month period.
Economic and tourism impact
The Jubail Colors Festival is expected to contribute significantly to the economic activity in the services and hospitality sector in Jubail and the Eastern Province in general. Such long-term events create promising investment opportunities for entrepreneurs and provide seasonal jobs for young people, in addition to their role in boosting domestic tourism and attracting visitors from neighboring Gulf countries, thus solidifying Jubail's position on the regional tourism map as a comprehensive destination combining business and leisure.
