SAUDI ARABIA: Held at the third Saudi expansion of the Grand Mosque, the exhibit was organized by the General Authority for the Care of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques. It offered an engaging educational experience on Islam’s most sacred structure, which stands at the spiritual center of Muslim worship.

Timed with Ramadan, the busiest period for Umrah pilgrims, the exhibition drew crowds eager to deepen their connection with the Kaaba’s spiritual and architectural legacy.

Presented in 10 languages, the display features interactive screens, visual displays, motion graphics, and historical artifacts, guiding visitors through the Kaaba’s evolution — from the era of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham, peace be upon him) to modern times.

With information available in both Arabic and English, the exhibition provided a rich, accessible experience that resonated with both regional and international visitors.
