Event: Colors of Saudi Arabia (Updated)

Photography is considered one of the most effective methods in tourism promotion and development as well as the documentation of culture and heritage. The first ever Colors of Saudi Forum aims to emphasize SCTA’s role in introducing Saudi tourism components whether traditional, natural or cultural. The forum also aims to raise interest in domestic tourism with a focus on the urban aspect. The forum encourages photographers, professional and amateurs alike, to highlight Saudi tourism sites, heritage, antiquities, diverse natural environment and urban development.
