RIYADH: The General Entertainment Authority launched its Eid Celebrations Program 2022 on Monday, the first day of Eid Al-Fitr, which will continue until May 7, featuring several concerts, light displays and theater shows. Launched under the slogan “The Best Eid,” the celebrations this year kicked off at 9 p.m. on Monday with fireworks displays in 13 regions and cities across
Al Sahir.
For World Poetry Day in March 2019, the prince was honoured by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) for his four
decade-long body of work. The ceremony, held in the French capital of Paris, featured translated readings of some of his work.
“The creative process and experience have been extremely rewarding, having worked with one of the most iconic poets from the region,” Al Jassmi said of working with Prince Badr. “(We leveraged) our collective strengths to capture the musical essence and beauty of Saudi Arabia.”
