With 14 unique zones, 100 festivals, 11 international championships, and a jam-packed schedule of exhibitions, this year's edition promises to be unforgettable.
Old Favourites with Fresh Surprises
Back by popular demand, Boulevard World and the whimsical Wonder Garden are slated to be bigger and better than ever before. Boulevard World will now have five zones, housing 300 restaurants and 1400 shops - giving visitors a chance to travel across the world without leaving the city.

Being one of the largest zones of Riyadh Season, it will also house a selection of immersive experiences like escape rooms, museums and interactive installations. The larger-than-life Wonder Garden will offer visitors more than 60 theatrical and roaming shows, and immersive themed areas such as Flamingo Lake and the Bloom Zone.
