The General Entertainm­ent Authority’s Kingdom Tour 2023 has added more regions to its itinerary, bringing the total number of cities and regions to 17.

After Baha was added about a week ago, Turki Al-Sheikh, chairman of the authority, announced the inclusion of Najran in the events that will tour Saudi Arabia until the end of September. In a statement, Al-Sheikh said: “Kingdom Tour 2023, which is the largest entertainm­ent tour around the Kingdom, is being carried out in strategic partnershi­p with the

Quality of Life Program. Local companies in all regions are responsibl­e for organizing and managing the tour.”

The tour has opened up opportunit­ies for Saudis across the Kingdom to participat­e in various stages of the events, including pre-production and performanc­e, as well as the supporting services, and logistical and technical services accompanyi­ng the events. Al-Sheikh added that the authority aims to “maximize the economic benefits and achieve the social impact of the entertainm­ent activities that the cities and regions will experience.”

He said that the youth of the Kingdom will play a major role in organizing the events, which will give them experience and increase their contributi­on to the entertainm­ent sector, one of the promising sectors in the Kingdom.

Al-Sheikh concluded his statement by expressing his gratitude to King Salman and Crown Prince

Mohammed bin Salman for their unlimited support for the entertainm­ent sector and all sectors of the state.

Kingdom Tour 2023 is one of the General Entertainm­ent Authority initiative­s aimed at providing entertainm­ent to residents and visitors. Tour activities will feature Saudi and Arab stars, in addition to Saudi youth, participat­ing in plays and concerts.

Events recently included a concert at King Abdulaziz Cultural Center in Baha featuring Asil Abu Bakr Salem and the young singer Rami Abdullah. In Abha, at King Khalid University Theater, Asala and Majid Almohandis also performed a concert.
