Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia will be celebrating Basant Mela on 17 February 2023. The event, marking the arrival of spring, is expected to attract thousands of kite-flying enthusiasts from across the Kingdom.
In Al-Khobar, 2 local kite-flying clubs including Al-Dhahran Kite Club and Al-Khobar Kite Club, have collaborated to organize this joyous event. The celebration promises to demonstrate the cultural richness of Pakistanis in Saudi Arabia via a diverse range of activities and entertainment.
