cancel

The Heritage Commission has announced the International Festival of Traditional Games, set to take place in Riyadh from December 19 to 25. The event, reported by the Saudi Press Agency, aims to celebrate the cultural significance of traditional games and foster global cultural exchange.

The festival will offer visitors the chance to engage with traditional pastimes, participate in workshops on toymaking and home decoration, and explore a crafts area showcasing handmade products from local and international artisans. These activities will highlight the richness and diversity of global folklore.

One of the festival’s key attractions will be the Year of the Camel pavilion, providing insights into the camel's cultural and historical importance in Saudi Arabia. This aligns with the Ministry of Culture’s recent camel studies grant, which supports research into the cultural, social, and economic significance of camels.

The grant initiative aims to preserve the nation’s heritage, promote camels as a cultural symbol, and strengthen national identity, while showcasing Saudi traditions on a global stage. Together, the festival and the grant reflect Saudi Arabia’s commitment to preserving and promoting its cultural heritage.
