The 29th International Autumn Tourism Festival began in Hun with the slogan “Extended Authenticity and Renewed Creativity”.

The festival's opening event was the launch of exhibitions at the city museum, showcasing ancient artefacts, palm tree products, photographs, books and manuscripts, as well as the “Autumn Bazaar”.

On Friday evening, the official launch of the festival will be announced at the Al-Fawara Park Theatre through performances by folk art troupes, horsemen in traditional costumes and children singing traditional folk melodies. This will be followed by a segment on the folk weddings.
