The tours began at King Khalid Cultural Center, the venue of the carnival, and passed through several prominent sites in the city.
Visitors were accompanied by specialized tour guides who provided historical and cultural information about Buraidah and its social and economic heritage, contributing to the growth of tourism and highlighting Buraidah's status as a global capital of dates and a destination for visitors from both within and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
