WWE
This event has been one of Riyadh Season’s most anticipated, and rightfully so.You’ll be able to go back to the 90s and witness your favourite WWE wrestlers take to the ring in the kingdom. Taking place at the King Fahd International Stadium at the end of October, this event is expected to sell out fast and there is a ticket for everyone as they are priced anywhere between USD $6 and $530.
Cirque Du Soleil BAZZAR
Cirque Du Soleil BAZZAR has been described as an “awe inspiring spectacle.” It will feature a jaunty troupe of dancers, musicians and acrobats participating in jaw-dropping stunts and sequences. Having performed in Saudi Arabia at Jeddah Season, the Cirque Du Soleil team of performers are returning to the kingdom for 4 weeks as they take up residence at Expo Land in November. They’ll be performing between November 1st and December 7th, 4 times a day and tickets range from USD$20 to $130.
Stan Lee's Super Con
We’ve become huge fans of the Marvel world as strong Muslim female characters are being bought to life, including Miss Marvel, Kamala Khan. Our fellow comic book fans, in Saudi Arabia, are in for the event of their dreams as they get the opportunity to dress like their heroes and enjoy the 2 day long Stan Lee Super Con at the Riyadh Front. Entrance passes are priced between USD $40 and $240.
