Saudi Arabia Tours Japan is a series of pre-event displays for Osaka Kansai Expo 2025, which will open on April 13 — the Saudi Arabia Pavilion there is expected to be a highlight of the expo.
More than 700 live performances and events are planned for the duration of the expo, promising a diverse and exciting journey into the rich culture and history of Saudi Arabia through fashion, dance, music and more.
The pavilion features seven interactive rooms that take visitors on an engaging and immersive journey to discover Saudi Arabia’s history, transformation, and impact on the world.
Leading up to the expo, Saudi Arabia Tours Japan events have been held at seven locations around the country. This weekend it will be in Tokyo. Admission is free, allowing people to experience the culture and history of Saudi Arabia and get an insight into the spectacular Saudi pavilion at the upcoming expo.
Visitors can enjoy authentic coffee and tea imported from Saudi Arabia, and sweets made with dates. There will also be a cooking demonstration to show how to prepare kleija, a much-loved dessert in Saudi Arabia. Kleija is a baked confection filled with date syrup.
Additionally, there will be live performances using traditional instruments inspired by Saudi Arabia’s rich musical heritage.
The majlis, a vibrantly decorated replica of a Saudi Arabian reception room, provides a relaxing space to enjoy traditional music.
This event highlights the deep cultural ties between Japan and Saudi Arabia and demonstrates that the two cultures are closer than one might think.
