About - What's On Saudi Arabia Awards

You asked, we listened. Saudi Arabia’s restaurant, leisure and entertainment scene has never been more exciting. So we’re back with the What’s On Saudi Arabia Awards to celebrate the creators, innovators and industry pioneers across Saudi Arabia for the fourth time.

What makes these awards special is that they are voted for by the public. There are 50+ categories across a breadth of dining and leisure experiences, while there’s a dedicated category for the culinary scene in the wider KSA. The entertainment and leisure categories invite entries from across the Kingdom.Then there’s the coveted Editor’s Choice awards, which will be handpicked by the editorial team.

Once the votes are in, we welcome the country’s top local and international gastronomy and entertainment talents to a dazzling awards night when the winners of those coveted trophies will be announced.
