Saudi Theatrical Spectacle ‘Terhal’ Returns to Diriyah This August

The Ministry of Culture has officially announced the much-anticipated return of the celebrated Saudi theatrical production “Terhal” to Diriyah this August. Following the success of its inaugural run, the second edition of Terhal will take place from August 4 to 25 at the Mayadeen Venue, inviting audiences to an immersive journey through the heart of Saudi heritage and cultural identity.
Terhal, which means “journey” in Arabic, is a grand-scale theatrical performance that weaves together traditional storytelling, music, dance, and cutting-edge stage design. The show portrays the rich history, values, and evolving cultural landscape of the Kingdom — offering a window into Saudi Arabia’s past, present, and aspirations for the future.
The production is part of the Ministry’s ongoing commitment to enrich the Kingdom’s cultural scene and provide platforms for creative expression. It also contributes to the broader goals of Saudi Vision 2030 by promoting arts and entertainment as key components of national development.
Audiences can expect a high-quality experience featuring a diverse cast of local performers, breathtaking visuals, and a moving narrative that resonates with all generations. The Mayadeen Venue, known for its iconic location in historic Diriyah, will serve as a fitting backdrop for this theatrical celebration of Saudi identity.
Tickets and full performance schedules are expected to be released soon through official Ministry channels.
