Riyadh has dazzled the entire Gulf, not merely with its season’s opening ceremony, but with the sheer diversity of its programs and the boldness of its vision. Families and youth from Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the UAE now flock to the city, seeking a different, modern, and renewed entertainment experience that the Gulf has never witnessed before.
Riyadh today is the capital of regional transformation and an unparalleled tourism and entertainment hub. With every passing year, it advances a full decade forward, confidently redrawing its position on the world map.
This openness, led by His Excellency Advisor Turki Al-Sheikh transforming the city into a global gateway, reflects a deeper, more comprehensive model: Vision 2030. What is presented today is not ordinary entertainment, but a fundamental shift in thought and methodology. It has reshaped the perception of young men and women regarding openness to global cultures. Instead of us traveling to see the world… the world has now come to us, right to the heart of our capital.
At the core of this transformation, the Saudi woman stands out as a key driving force for economic growth. Thanks to legislative reforms, women's participation in the labor market has seen unprecedented qualitative leaps. It is no longer limited to traditional sectors; women now hold high-ranking leadership and executive positions in vital fields such as finance, technology, and entertainment. These reforms have ensured a fair work environment that achieves equality in opportunities and wages.
Investing in liberating the potential of young men and women is a successful strategy that grants the Saudi economy resilience and competitive strength. We have come to realize that our capital, Riyadh, is the world's gateway, and indeed, our own gateway to the future.
From Najd emerged the thought that led the Gulf, and from Najd launched the Vision that illuminates the paths of tomorrow for the world.
