The platform allows users to explore Saudi attractions and cultural activities in an online environment, and showcases the achievements of Saudi music, art, history, cooking and craft culture.
The platform also features mini video games and a performance center, and supports broadcasting of live events such as symphony concerts. It features a "historic and cultural district" designed to encourage a global audience to explore Saudi Arabia's heritage and culture.
