Message from The Minister

Culture is an essential part of the ambitious national transformation being overseen by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Vision 2030 states that culture is “indispensable to our quality of life” and notes that the Kingdom must increase both the quality and quantity of its cultural activity. The Ministry of Culture will deliver on both counts. Saudi culture stands on solid ground with Saudi creatives across various cultural sectors. We’re proud of our rich cultural environment and talents with the potential to transcend the borders of our country to reach the world. The Ministry will adopt a collaborative approach with our Saudi creatives, the jewel of our cultural sphere. We will develop an environment which supports and nurtures creativity, in addition to opening doors for new forms of expression. Saudi culture will remain an essential part of our lives. The Kingdom prides itself with a rich heritage and diverse traditions spanning 13 regions. Talented creators in various aspects of culture have earned international recognition and performed or displayed their work in different parts of the world.
