SEVEN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qiddiya Investment Company, is spearheading the development of this expansive entertainment complex. The governor's visit drew key personnel, including representatives from Al-Ahsa's Development Authority, Al-Ahsa Municipality, and Saudi Entertainment Ventures.\n\nPrince Saud was presented with an overview of the project's layout, spanning nearly 164,000 square meters at the junction of King Abdullah Road and Riyadh Road. The development comprises nine distinct entertainment zones, each designed to international standards, promising novel experiences. Partnerships with leading global entertainment brands, alongside locally curated attractions, aim to cater to a broad range of visitors.\n\nBeyond entertainment, the project features spaces for dining establishments, cafés, and retail outlets, contributing to its multifaceted appeal. During the tour, Prince Saud underscored the significance of such ventures in elevating the quality of life, broadening entertainment choices, and stimulating economic activity within the governorate. He highlighted the royal endorsement of these projects as integral to achieving Saudi Vision 2030 and the Quality of Life Program.\n\nThe SEVEN entertainment project is part of a broader initiative by Saudi Entertainment Ventures to establish integrated entertainment hubs across the Kingdom.
