What to Expect at Passport To The World Khobar
Passport To The World Khobar unites communities through music, art, food, and traditions. With dedicated country pavilions scheduled across the festival timeline, each week promises a unique and enriching experience.
Here’s a look at the lineup:
- India Pavilion: April 16–19

Each pavilion will feature authentic cultural showcases including folk dance performances, music concerts, street food stalls, craft markets, and interactive workshops. It’s an opportunity to indulge in everything from Indian classical music to Filipino street snacks—all in one destination.
Promoting Unity Through Cultural Diversity
The General Entertainment Authority has curated this event to foster mutual understanding and appreciation among residents and visitors in Saudi Arabia. In a time when cultural awareness is more important than ever, the festival becomes a lively space where traditions are celebrated, not separated.
According to local organizers, the goal is not only to entertain but also to educate—through immersive storytelling, hands-on experiences, and community-led engagement. Guests will find themed installations, traditional games, and performances designed to reflect the heart of each culture.
From sari-draping sessions and henna art to Filipino folk dances and Bengali music performances, the festival encourages exploration and connection across borders.
Food, Shopping, and Family-Friendly Fun
Beyond the cultural pavilions, visitors can wander through bustling open-air markets offering artisanal crafts, handmade souvenirs, and regional specialties. For families, there are child-friendly zones, live entertainment, and workshops where kids can learn about different customs in fun, interactive ways.
The food scene is another major highlight. Each pavilion offers regional cuisine cooked by native chefs. Whether it’s biryani and masala chai from India, halo-halo and lumpia from the Philippines, or pitha and spicy curries from Bangladesh, every meal becomes a cultural discovery in itself.
