The Ministry of Culture has postponed the Rejal Al-Teeb festival, which was scheduled to be held in Rijal Almaa in the south of the Kingdom, until further notice. The decision was taken in line with the Kingdom’s efforts to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

This edition was set to explore Rijal Almaa’s rich history and civilization, in line with the ministry’s goals to transform the village into an international cultural hub. The previous edition, held in August 2019, contributed to spreading the culture of flower necklaces worn by the region’s residents by showing visitors how to make their own versions.
