Boxing, musical performances by Ciara, Missy Elliott, and hip-hop superstar Busta Rhymes, and a luxury prize giving marked the start of Riyadh Season 2024 on Saturday night. 

Turki Al-Sheikh, the General Entertainment Authority chairman, oversaw the season's inauguration at the Kingdom Arena. During the inaugural ceremony, Al-Sheikh gave a Mercedes-Benz G-Class to a lucky audience member.
