Since its inception in 2018, the Red Sea International Film Festival has steadily grown to become one of the region’s largest film festivals. When it comes to what you can anticipate here, there will be a slew of premieres, and you can expect to bump into filmmakers, industry experts, and other fellow film buffs.

This year’s festival will take place from December 6 to 15. It will take place (at least the majority of it) in Jeddah’s ancient Balad district.

You can book your tickets here. Some of these are priced for as little as SAR40 – that’s lesser than a regular cinema ticket.
