The What’s On Riyadh Awards 2023 has launched. The awards celebrate the creators, innovators and industry pioneers across Saudi Arabia’s hospitality and entertainment sectors for the very first time. What makes these awards special is that they are voted for by the public.

There are 24 categories across a breadth of dining and leisure experiences, all designed to celebrate Saudi Arabia’s finest. The restaurant and food concept categories all celebrate the gourmet gastronomy in Riyadh. There’s also a special restaurant category designed to celebrate the foodie scene in one of Saudi Arabia’s most dazzling destinations: AlUla. Four entertainment and leisure categories invite entries from across the Kingdom. Luxurious hotels, unforgettable events and pampering spas all fall under this category. Completing the awards categories are a trio of coveted Editor’s Choice awards, which will be handpicked by the editorial team. These are Sustainable Restaurant of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and Restaurant of the Year. View the full list of categories here.

Registrations will open in April and voting in June and close at the end of July. The winners will be announced at the awards night in September 2023. To register and for more information visit whatsonsaudiarabia.com.
