About Gassim

The Al-Qassim Region, also known as Gassim internationally, is one of Saudi Arabia’s 13 administrative regions. With the capital city of Buraydah, Al-Qassim neighbors Riyadh and Medina. Al-Qassim has a population of 1 million 370 thousand, making it the 7th most populated region in Saudi Arabia. Its agricultural assets have earned it the nickname ‘alimental basket’ of the country.  

Al-Qassim is the country’s leading and most developed region in agriculture; it is one of the largest producers of dates in the Middle East. The region provides products like grapes, lemons, oranges, and pomegranates to the country and neighboring countries and hosts one of the world’s biggest camel markets.

Al-Qassim is also one of the country’s most important tourism centers. There are many festivals that take place throughout the year; the themes of these festivals are usually cultural, or regarding local products, and harvested products. The most important festival is the date festival. There are many bazaars and markets where you can find handmade products. The region also organizes tours of beautiful orchards in the countryside.  

Desert tourism is highest during the winter and spring months. The region has many historic remnants from Pre-Islamic Arabia and the Abbasid Empire. The Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport, located in the capital Buraydah, is the leading airport in the region.
