Saudi Arabia: Officials from the
Jeddah Literary Cultural Club and Al-Hijaz Cultural House in the city’s historic

a constructive role in thinking and caring for young men and women, developing
their talents, and presenting them to a conscious and promising society.”

Hub which offers monthly activities including poetry evenings and workshops for
young talents supervised by poet and journalist Abdulaziz Al-Sharif.
