Kuwait Zone at Saudi’s BLVD World

A couple of days ago, Boulevard World in Riyadh opened to the public as part of Riyadh Season. Boulevard World (or BLVD World) is located right next to BLVD City, another large entertainment zone. The venue features replicas of iconic landmarks from several countries, and this year they’ve added three new zones: Indonesia, Korea, and Kuwait.

The Kuwait zone features replicas of the Kuwait Towers, Seef Palace with its clock tower, and a large dhow. It also includes restaurants serving authentic Kuwaiti food, along with traditional arts and live performances.

If you’ve never been to BLVD World or City, you really should. I’ve been three times, and each time it was bigger than the year before. It’s a gigantic world that feels a bit like Universal Studios or Disneyland. Riyadh is also always a fun road trip if you want to drive down.

There is no multiple-entry visit visa available for certain nationalities. GCC residents can, however, view them on YouTube or tiktok

I didnt understand it at 1st…or even to 5th but what i think what they are saying is Saudi doesnt have entry visa for some countries. I am trying to decipher English as their 3rd language here.

@ Mark, I’m genuinely surprised you’ve never heard of Global Village before; It’s been around for over 20 years now! Whenever you went to Dubai, you’ve never seen ads for Global Village? I’m not saying it’s a must-see experience or anything, I’m just surprised you’ve never heard of it before.

I’ve heard of that global village just didnt know if he was talking about that one or another, it’s a generic name I think even the one here in Kuwait was called Global village

Global Village (Dubai) is where BLVD got the idea from. The former is unbeatable. Others might be bigger but everyone that’s been to both always say Global Village is far superior. They’ve been at it since 1997 so makes sense but post Covid is when I & I guess most of the World knew about it. I had cousins flying down from the U.S. who told me about it, which I think is odd. I went in 2024 for the first time then again this year.

Little World Kuwait started here just last year & well, we have decades to go before it can even compete with either.

any idea how can we go by car to Riyadh, so far they have not started multiple entry visa for GCC residents. 2023/2024 was amazing, i went to saudi multiple times by car with at visa. Im still waiting visas to be opened again.

so far, KSA hasn’t opened the option for a general multiple-entry visa. However, if you hold a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa and have traveled to any of those countries at least once, you can apply for a multiple-entry e-visa on arrival (any KSA border)
Otherwise, you can obtain an Umrah visa through any travel agent, which is one time entry only and travel to Saudi Arabia either by air or by land.

Saudi should consider offering multiple-entry visas to GCC residents, allowing us to explore and enjoy visiting more places in Saudi with ease.
