Literary Cafés Expand
The number of cafés participating in the “Literary Partner” initiative rose to 220 in 2025, up from 82 in 2024—a growth of nearly 168%, according to the Cultural Status Report. The continuation of the events sparked debate: some linked the decline of certain events to the end of funding and the difficulty of building a sustainable model, while others said the activities were continuing but had become more focused on quality. Launched in 2021, the initiative supports cafés in organizing cultural programs. Makkah led the regions with 60 participating cafés, followed by Riyadh with 44 and the Eastern Province with 42; the latter recorded the highest growth, at around 367%.
