The new season promises to showcase the very best of the culture to both locals and tourists. Diriyah Season 2024 kicks off with an exhibition titled Enduring Resilience, which celebrates the everlasting legacy of Imam Turki bin Abdullah, the founder of the Second Saudi State. The exhibition will present a story that spans nearly 200 years.
Diriyah Seasom will be welcoming 850 unique experiences this time around, including the return of fan-favourites like Layali Diriyah (Diriyah Nights), along with Minzal, which is the very first cultural camp in Saudi Arabia. It is a one-of-a-kind experience that celebrates and showcases the most captivating tales of Diriyah’s charm and beauty.
New experiences include a Diriyah Storytelling Festival that will celebrate literature and foster intellectual and cultural exchange, along with a Tyn Festival. The Tyn Festival will be an annual creative gathering that unites architects, academics, and enthusiasts to honour the art of mud architecture deeply rooted in the region’s history.
There will also be a Souk program that blends the performing arts with Saudi heritage; expect traditional Saudi dances and songs. You can also look forward to Samri Art Activations, which will run throughout the season and provide an unforgettable interactive experience with performances of Samri art in various locations in Diriyah.
