Score: Riyadh Season 2024 attracts 12 million visitors

‘Tis the Season of fun.

The latest edition of Riyadh Season has been in full swing since an explosive opening night in October.

The night saw Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Missy Elliot take over Kingdom Arena with their spitfire bars before Beterbiev and Bivol took to the ring and traded punches.

Since then, Riyadh Season 2024 has turned up the heat and brought unparalleled experiences like the brand-new Dunes of Arabia.

Hence visitors from across the Kingdom and the world have been flocking to the Season bringing the number of attendees up to a whopping 12 million.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), confirmed the new milestone.

This achievement underscores the overwhelming success and immense popularity of this global event.

The milestone reflects the exceptional diversity of Riyadh Season’s offerings like The Groves and Souq Al-Awaleen, a free-entry zone blending tradition and creativity, showcasing Saudi heritage, traditional crafts, and popular cuisines.

Additionally, the newly opened Courchevel zone within Boulevard World offers visitors an extraordinary snow experience in the heart of Riyadh’s winter.

One of Riyadh Season 2024’s highlights was “Boxing Week,” featuring the historic rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. It attracted a massive crowd from within the Kingdom and abroad including Hollywood superstar Jason Statham.

The much-anticipated launch of the new BLVD Runway zone further enhanced the season’s success. Created in collaboration with national carriers Saudia, the zone offers an innovative journey that seamlessly merges aviation with entertainment.

This remarkable visitor count reaffirms the unparalleled success of Riyadh Season 2024, which delivers a comprehensive experience featuring a wide array of events, including boxing and wrestling matches, world-class concerts, and exceptional dining and leisure options.

With new and innovative zones, Riyadh Season continues to elevate the entertainment landscape globally.

Still to come at Riyadh Season 2024

You can look forward to the Beterbiev v Bivol rematch, the lilting notes of Hans Zimmer live in concert, and the resounding slaps of Saudi’s first-ever UFC Power Slap event at the Season.
