Saudi Arabia’s Diriyah Named Capital of Arab Culture for 2030

Saudi Arabia’s Diriyah has been named as the capital of Arab culture for 2030.

The city was selected by the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) due to its remarkable history and cultural symbolism, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The selection means that Diriyah will become the second Saudi city to be named as the capital of Arab culture after Riyadh, which held the title in 2000, it said.
