The Ice Arena and Festival Grounds create an epicenter of unique and diverse entertainment options that align with the desires of the country’s growing youth. It will create an environment to foster outdoor engagement, connect people to one another through new experiences and make lasting memories for generations.

Transparent and approachable, the main circulation along the fault provides exposé moments, with direct views onto the ice. The intimate relationship to landscape and foregrounded sustainable features presents a responsible engagement with the natural environment now and as it evolves in the future. At once joyful and fascinating, the Ice Arena and Festival Grounds will also provide thoughtful consideration about its place in the country’s rich heritage and future. As a destination attraction, it will be a vessel for expression, as well as a place to introduce visitors to the culture.

Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC) has announced the introduction of an innovative Performing Arts Centre. This visionary addition promises to enrich Saudi Arabia's cultural landscape and enhance the array of attractions within Qiddiya City. With stunning architecture, pioneering technology, and commitment to artistic innovation, the centre promises to redefine the cultural experience for residents and visitors alike. The first cultural asset of the newly announced Qiddiya City, the centre is poised to receive over 800,000 visits every year.

The unveiling of Qiddiya City’s Performing Arts Center follows the announcement of many exciting entertainment, sports, and cultural attractions, including the world's first multi-use Gaming and Esports District, the multi-sports Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium, the motorsport track, the Dragon Ball theme park and Aquarabia, the first water theme park of its kind in Saudi Arabia.

Abdullah Aldawood, Managing Director of Qiddiya Investment Company, said: ”Qiddiya City is more than just the home of entertainment and sports, but a leader in the preservation and promotion of Saudi culture. For this reason, we are thrilled to announce the addition of the Qiddiya Performing Arts Centre to Qiddiya City. It will be a beacon of creativity and innovation that will elevate Saudi Arabia's cultural landscape to new heights. With its ground-breaking modern design, pioneering technology, and commitment to nurturing talent, the centre embodies the spirit of Qiddiya City as a place where imagination knows no bounds."

It is a testament to the city's commitment to fostering creativity and innovation and will host over 260 indoor and outdoor performances and events every year. Over 3,000 seats are spread across three theatres, each offering a 360° experience merging physical and digital elements. A cantilevered amphitheatre offers breathtaking views of the City’s lower plateau while a fully adaptable 500-seat venue is suspended from above.

The Centre is dedicated to pioneering experiences and empowering Saudi talent. Leveraging state-of-the-art technologies such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Artificial Intelligence, the Centre will host groundbreaking productions that push the boundaries of traditional theatre. Moreover, it will serve as an incubator for young Saudi talent, providing educational opportunities and resources to nurture the next generation of writers, producers, and actors. By positioning itself as a leader in immersive storytelling and experimental performances, the Centre aims to inspire pride in Saudi culture and heritage. The Performing Arts Centre will stimulate economic growth by creating thousands of career opportunities across more than 100 job categories in the creative and cultural sectors.

Embracing the philosophy of Qiddiya City, the Performing Arts Centre will seamlessly integrate with its surroundings to offer a holistic cultural experience. Beyond its performance halls, the Centre will act as a vibrant community hub, inviting residents and visitors to explore dining, retail, and educational entertainment options. A rooftop sky garden, art galleries, and green spaces will extend the cultural experience, while the Centre's iconic architecture will serve as a symbol of civic identity. The dramatic setting of the building is a tribute to the performances it will host. The promenade walk extending across the Tuwaiq cliffs will lead to a shaded section beneath the centre offering a viewing platform across the City. This section will act as an extension of the centre’s microclimate that begins with a waterfall in the Centre’s lobby and cools the surrounding neighbourhood.

As a cornerstone of Qiddiya City's vision, the Performing Arts Centre embodies a commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and the celebration of Saudi Arabia's rich cultural heritage.

The Board of Directors of the Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC) announced today that Qiddiya City will be home to a groundbreaking new racetrack that aims to elevate Saudi Arabia to the pinnacle of motorsport by becoming one of the world’s leading motorsport venues.

Located in the heart of Qiddiya City, the configurable Speed Park Track will blend functionality, state-of-the-art technology and unique customer experience and is poised to host an impressive roster of the world's most prestigious racing events, according to a press release by the company.

The track will also boast some of motorsport’s most recognizable track design features. Its centerpiece will be the pioneering “Blade” at turn one – an awe-inspiring elevated section of circuit that dramatically rises more than 20 stories above the ground.

Commenting on the launch, Managing Director of Qiddiya Investment Company Abdullah Aldawood said: “The Speed Park Track will be a true embodiment of Qiddiya’s power of play philosophy and will position Qiddiya City as the home of Saudi motorsport and one of the world’s leading motorsport venues.

“Visitors and spectators will be treated to one of the most unique and immersive race experiences in the world with this pioneering track, designed by race drivers, for race drivers, ready to host some of the world’s biggest motorsport events.”

Designed by Austrian former Formula One driver Alex Wurz and German circuit designer Hermann Tilke, the fast-flowing track has been designed for drivers by drivers and pushes boundaries to the extreme, featuring 21 corners and utilizing Qiddiya City’s dramatic landscape to create over 108m of elevation gain per lap.

The Speed Park Track has multiple configurations with two distinctive sections including a street circuit section and the fast open track section which are fully integrated into Qiddiya’s neighboring attractions, bringing entertainment, sports and culture together.

When it comes to spectating, motorsport enthusiasts will enjoy one of the most thrilling and immersive race experiences in the world with multiple vantage points for fans and viewing terraces at the edge of and within the track.

Adrenaline-fueled attractions, experiences, and events will also surround the circuit, blending the thrills of motorsports with the vibrancy of cultural and entertainment hubs – drawing on Qiddiya’s power of play philosophy.

To add to the excitement and unrivaled experience, the track will be seamlessly integrated with surrounding attractions, with the “Blade” turn rising above a music venue below and drivers racing alongside Falcon's flight, the world’s tallest, fast rollercoaster located at the neighboring Six Flags Qiddiya City. Sections of the track will also run alongside a water theme park located in the city.

Qiddiya’s power of play concept, said the release, leverages decades of research showing that play is vital for human cognitive development, emotional expression, social skills, creativity, and physical health. Studies have demonstrated the positive effects of recreational activities on society, their ability to bridge differences between individuals, and enhance levels of empathy and social cohesion.

The unveiling of the track also follows the announcements of the Qiddiya Gaming & esports District and the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium.

According to the release, more announcements are due in the coming weeks.
