The attractions opened doors to all-new sections welcoming countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Africa, and the glitzy Courchevel! Packed with 300+ restaurants and cafes and nearly 900 shops, this zone alone feels like a world tour.

Over at Kingdom Arena, history was made with Artur Beterbiev’s nail-biting boxing victory over Dmitry Bivol, crowning him the undisputed light heavyweight champ! And as if that wasn’t enough, The Venue served up some serious tennis action with the Six Kings Slam Championship, the world’s most lavish tournament, where fans cheered on big names like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune.

Al-Suwaidi Park, meanwhile, is alive with vibrant Indian cultural celebrations, including shows, live music, and authentic cuisine, perfect for fans of all things Bollywood!
