The 8-day event will be held at R2 Ground in BKC, Mumbai
Saudi’s national tourism brand, ‘Saudi Welcome to Arabia’ will be hosting its first-ever consumer event ‘Spectacular Saudi’, from September 25 to October 2, at R2 Ground in BKC, Mumbai. Slated to transport visitors straight to the Heart of Arabia; the 8-day event promises a sneak peek into Saudi’s wonders and experiences.
Visitors can expect unique immersive experiences–including exhibits, culinary delights, Ardah dancers, Saudi coffee, traditional scents, and fashion–all under one roof. Each experience will offer an interactive element, starting with traditional coffee, dates and Bakhour. Next, visitors will be guided through the ‘mountains and mirrors’ display, evocative of the Maraya Hall in Alula.
The Sadu Art, surrounded by colossal pieces of Sadu weaves where the display dwells into the history of this ancient craft that has been preserved by Bedouin women and is recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage practice. Gastronomy buffs can enjoy Saudi delicacies at the Al Balad-inspired culinary corner.
Featuring giveaways and discounts tailored for Indian travelers, the Spectacular Saudi event is making it even easier for Indian travelers to apply for their Saudi visa. Presenting a valid Visa or Mastercard credit card at one of eight dedicated Tasheer kiosks is required. The name on the credit card must match the passport. The visa will be issued within 48 hours.
On the travel front, SAUDIA Airlines is offering special deals on tickets. Attendees will also have the chance to participate in daily giveaways for free flight tickets for two to Saudi.
Moreover, the Saudi packages will offer complimentary cultural city tours. Group tour packages to Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam will be available exclusively at the event.
