‘Ithra Winter’ has a new venue this month

DAMMAM: For the first time, the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture, or Ithra, a Saudi Aramco initiative, will transform Dhahran Expo into a winter wonderland.

Arab News toured the family-friendly space with Munirah Alsafra, head of outreach programs at Ithra, who told us what to expect.

“Ithra Winter is different this year. We used to always present the experience within the Ithra premises, but this time we wanted to be closer to the visitors — we wanted to present a different experience, so we came to you. We moved from the center’s walls to be closer to our community,” she said.
