Visitors check out traditional Saudi handicraft

The sweet fragrance of local dates and the slightly spicy aroma of Saudi coffee fill the air.

The Diriyah exhibition area recreates the ancient mud-brick city. Diriyah is the birthplace of the first Saudi dynasty, and its core area, At-Turaif, has been listed as a World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations.

The Jeddah exhibition area replicates the street-scene style of the old city of Al Balad. Handmade porcelain and woven artworks are displayed, as if you can hear the hustle and bustle of the traditional bazaar.

The AlUla exhibition area invites visitors to appreciate the handicrafts made by Wicker Craft, while the Red Sea exhibition area is covered with real sand grains. Colorful corals and luxury resorts on the sea are just around the corner, taking people to enjoy a blue coast adventure.

Saudi performances at the square

At the Riyadh booth, tourists can have their Chinese names translated into Arabic and written onto artistic postcards, experiencing the charm of Arabic calligraphy.

As the most exciting area, the "Unreal Calendar" interactive area combines sports passion with digital technology.

Just jump hard and see if your jumping height can be close to Cristiano Ronaldo's legendary data, or wave a tennis racket and measure whether your serving speed can be comparable to the speed of F1.
