Looking for a tasty treat? You won't have to wait very long. Saudi Arabia will once again become the stage for a major gastronomic celebration as the Ministry of Culture brings back the Food Culture Festival. Spanning three cities (Al Khobar, Riyadh, and Jeddah) this festival is a feast not just for the taste buds but for all the senses.
The festival kicks off in Al Khobar from January 29 to February 2, moves to Riyadh from February 5 to 9, and concludes in Jeddah from February 12 to 16.
As a collaborative effort with the Quality of Life Programme, the event aims to promote an understanding and appreciation of both international and local culinary arts. This event is not only about savouring exquisite dishes (and satisfying your sweet tooth) but also about engaging in a cultural exchange that spans global culinary traditions.
