After his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, the Frenchman moved to the Middle East and became the second famous person to do so.
A boisterous throng cheered the 35-year-old's entry into the country as Benzema was introduced. He wore the number nine shirt as he entered the field.
Benzema participated in a press conference before the announcement where questions were posed in English and the striker answered in French, which was then translated.
Benzema said that his decision to relocate to Saudi Arabia was motivated by his Muslim faith and not the abundance of money on offer. He signed a three-year deal worth £258 million.
"Because I'm a Muslim and this is a Muslim nation." I've wanted to live there my entire life. I've previously visited Saudi Arabia, and I'm happy with it,' Benzema remarked.
"I want to be there," you said. I hope that what I can bring to my new club is my football and, most importantly, the ability to win championships.
It's a new era for me, and I want to help the club progress even more. A club with a lot of passion exists.
Since Benzema is a Muslim, he now finds himself playing in the "holy kingdom," where 90% of people follow Islam.
Goalscorer was invited to display his Ballon d'Or medal as he brought it along for the procession.
"He's the man who brought Zizou and Ronaldo, and now he wants me in his team," I stated when I first saw you. I appreciate you doing it.
It is impossible for me to forget Real Madrid, so I never will. That is as excellent as it gets; it is the greatest club in history and the entire planet. The most significant thing for me is what I've won here, but it's time for me to leave today and start a new chapter.
"I'm leaving this club, and that hurts me. It's kind of a sad day." I signed up for Madrid with the intention of finishing there, but sometimes life presents you with other opportunities, and I took this one with both hands.
