Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority (GEA), extended an invitation to the Syrian child influencer Sham Al-Homsiya to attend Riyadh Season events, after she appeared in a video where she spontaneously expressed her desire to be present at the season’s activities and commented on the large attendance of stars and celebrities from the Arab world and beyond during the Joy Awards festival.

In the widely shared video on social media, Sham Al-Homsiya humorously showed her annoyance about not receiving an invitation to attend these events, delivering her message playfully to the Saudi audience while also expressing her enthusiasm to be part of these major entertainment happenings that are drawing attention regionally and internationally.

The video quickly gained wide interaction on social media platforms before Turki Al-Sheikh responded through his official account on the platform X, where he reposted the video and added a comment that included a direct invitation for Sham Al-Homsiya to attend Riyadh Season.

It was a gesture that reflected close engagement with the public and support for talents and content creators of all ages.

The Syrian child responded with a video in which she thanked the advisor with great excitement, saying she was happy and ready to come to Riyadh with great eagerness to meet the Saudi people.

This interaction comes within the approach embodied by Riyadh Season in creating joy for all groups and cementing its place as a global destination that brings together art, entertainment, and talent, offering experiences that go beyond traditional events and extending to direct human interaction which has become one of the season’s most notable features.
