DGDA Organizes Eid Al-Adha Festivities to Engage and Delight Diriyah Residents

As part of its commitment to strengthening bonds with the local community, the Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) is organizing a series of festive events in mosques, parks, and gardens across the city of Diriyah to celebrate Eid Al-Adha.

Diriyah will also spread the spirit of Eid by deploying a fleet of "Fun Busses" that will travel across the neighborhood and parks, bringing joy to locals and visitors alike. Additionally, DGDA gifts that will which where more than 15,000 will be distributed to residents.
