As part of Diriyah
Season 25/26, the much-anticipated “Souq
Al-Mawsim” (Season Market) opened on Sunday in the Al-Tawalie district,
one of Diriyah’s most significant historical and natural landmarks. The event
immerses visitors in the lively atmosphere of traditional markets, complete
with the sounds, colours, and energy of local vendors and shoppers.
This year’s edition carries special significance,
celebrating Japan and the rich cultural heritage of Kyoto, in honour of 70
years of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Japan.
The market’s design blends Saudi and Japanese aesthetics,
creating a distinctive identity that merges artistic details, architecture, and
traditions from both cultures. Visitors can enjoy a multi-sensory experience
that deepens appreciation for the shared creativity and heritage of the two
nations.
