Cinema Al Balad is inspired by Al-Jumjum Cinema, the first open-air cinema in Saudi Arabia. This pioneering space laid the foundation for outdoor film screenings across the historic neighbourhoods of Jeddah, where tickets were just SAR10 and showtimes began at 7pm and 9pm. Cinema Al Balad continues that legacy, showcasing a rich mix of Saudi films, classic cinema, and global masterpieces.
