Over the past few years, Saudi Arbia has been opening its doors to international stars, which is unprecedented in the country’s history. Back in January 2017, Jeddah held its first concert in seven years, featuring Saudi singers Mohammed Abdu, and Rabeh Sager and Iraqi-Saudi singer Majid Al-Muhandis.
Ever since then, several singers took the stage in Saudi Arabia. Just last month, chart-toppers including Enrique Iglesias, the Black Eyed Peas, Jason Derulo, and David Guetta performed at the three-day musical event during Saudi’s first Ad Diriyah E-Prix in Riyadh.
