It includes many exceptional experiences through a cultural journey that embodies the unity and cohesion of the people from all its regions.

From Inside Saudi Arabia

Meanwhile, history film enthusiasts will be treated to the film “Station Seven,” a cinematic work that showcases the most significant events in the Kingdom in 2023, covering political, social, economic, cultural, and sports aspects, retelling of these events and their impact by the individuals who lived through them and were part and parcel of them. Additionally, fans of historical and documentary films can enjoy “Fifty,” which tells the story of an exciting event.

Performative Shows

Visitors embark on a one of a kind experience that immerses them in the world of authentic heritage, where they learn the traditional art of Saudi Ardah (a folkloric dance) and discover the secrets behind the traditional movements through the “Authenticity and Heritage” event. Meanwhile, the center continues its heritage and historical programs with a cultural touch through a workshop titled “Lammet Ahel.” Participants will explore the customs and traditions of the western region. They also use tools inspired by the stunning architectural designs and unique engineering of historic Jeddah. Noteworthy is the “Masirt Watan” event. It embodies the unity and harmony of the Saudi army, showcasing the highest meanings of solidarity and national strength. Moreover, the Saudi army from various regions of the Kingdom comes together in a single line to perform a symphony of loyalty and courage.

Traditional Music

The audience at Ithra will enjoy the “Symphony of Authenticity,” a performance that resonates with national identity. This show merges traditional Saudi arts with various forms of performing arts, offering delightful moments in an exceptional artistic tableau. Among the performances is “Al-Ra’ih,” a form of Saudi folk heritage distinguished by its strong and lively rhythms. It is a fundamental element in celebrations and special occasions for the people of Bisha, performed collectively in a harmonized and unified manner that combines movement with musical rhythm. Additionally, the “We Sing for the Nation” performance will return to Ithra’s stage. This year’s show will feature multiple musical pieces, with audience participation. Furthermore, this aims to narrate the history of the Kingdom across all its regions in a joyous atmosphere.
