Surely you’ve been hearing about the amazing makeshift concert hall/art called Maraya hosting a festival taking place in the middle of Saudi’s deserts.

Winter At Tantora is the first festival of its kind in the Kingdom and the first time in a while that the historic Al Ula is open to visitors during maintenance.

Influencers, celebs and international artists have attended several events organised for different days, and it’s been an incredible show of how hard the Entertainment Authority has been working towards the Vision 2030 goals. One of which is to boost the Kingdom’s entertainment sector and depend less on oil exports for economic prosperity.
