To celebrate Women’s Day, the King Fahad Cultural Centre in Riyadh will be hosting a Saudi musical operetta under the name “Daughters of Salman” with an all-woman musical band.

Starting March 2 until March 4, under the sponsorship of Princess Nora bint Mohammed al-Saoud, the operetta is set to have theatre performances, poetry, and will showcase a documentary on the history of Saudi women.

They have much more planned

Numerous shows have been organised in the main centre, as well as workshops on new media, photography, medical culture, plastic arts and folklore that’ll be open to visitors.
