Riyadh Festival: Saudi Arabia between Religion and Modernization
Saudi Arabia, known for strict Wahhabism, hosts large-scale festivals despite regional conflicts and the humanitarian crisis.
Another festival was held in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, which gathered thousands of participants.
This raises questions because the country officially adheres to strict religious norms, including Wahhabism, which is the state religion.
At the same time, these events take place against the background of the ongoing conflict, in which terrorist Israel is accused of genocide of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples. The holding of such festivals highlights Saudi Arabia's attempts to balance modernization, cultural change and the preservation of traditional religious principles, which generates criticism and mixed reactions from the international community.
