Korea-Arab Society(KAS) will co-host this year’s Salam Seoul Festival again with Seoul Tourism Association (STA) which will be sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea and the Seoul Metropolitan Government. This year’s festival will be open for two days from Monday 8 September 8 to Tuesday 9 September 2025 at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul.

As part of the 18th Arab Cultural Festival, this event features a wide array of cultural content, including fashion shows, music and dance performances, country promotion booths, a flea market, food trucks, and more—celebrating the diverse cultures of Korea, Asia and the Middle East.

As this year commemorates the 30th diplomatic relations between Egypt and Korea, Korea-Arab Society(KAS) invited the National Port Said Folk Arts Troupe of Egypt to Korea and the Arab Diplomatic Corps in Seoul will cooperate to set up country promotion booths to introduce each Arab country’s unique and authentic culture to the Korean public as well as to foreign tourists.

We cordially invite you to take part in this special opportunity to experience both Korean and Arab culture in an engaging and accessible way. Your interest and participation are greatly appreciated.
