"We really admire Chinese people and Chinese culture. It's a perfect ending to a very beautiful day," she added.

Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has made an effort to preserve and reinvigorate Al-Ula into a beacon for Arab tourism, a place that embraces local and international visitors to experience Saudi Arabia's unique culture.

Lebanese singer Majida El-Roumi, who performed here on Dec. 28 last year, said it was an honor for her to perform at the event in Saudi Arabia, adding that the world was eagerly waiting "for the kingdom to open its doors."

Other stars who have performed in the kingdom since 2017 include Algerian musician Cheb Khaled, U.S. rapper Nelly and country singer Toby Keith.

Such music shows have gradually become part of the cultural life of Saudi Arabia, which was unimaginable two years ago, thanks to the Vision 2030, a comprehensive plan to reduce Saudi dependence on oil and develop its public service sectors.

Many of these music performances were sponsored by the General Entertainment Authority that was set up to organize, develop and lead the entertainment sector and to provide diverse entertainment options to Saudis.

Vision 2030, spearheaded by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, mandates the building of a vibrant society. It has identified Saudi youth as a key driver of change.

"I am eager to see the tourism sector coming alive in the country. We are very excited to show our country and our culture to the world," Alfayez said.
