The curtain has fallen on one of Jeddah Season 2025's most prominent cultural events, the “In Devotion to Khaled Al-Faisal” exhibition, held from April 3 to 8 and drawing more than 36,000 visitors from across the Kingdom's regions. The exhibition was staged in tribute to the career of HRH Prince Khaled Al-Faisal bin Abdulaziz, advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Governor of Makkah region, a towering national, cultural and intellectual figure.

Organized by the Emirate of Makkah Region as part of Jeddah Season, the exhibition shed light on multiple chapters of Prince Khaled Al-Faisal's life, from literature and thought to leadership and administration, and from development to artistic creativity, through nine dedicated sections that took visitors on a visual and emotional journey through his six-decade career.

Using a modern style that blends traditional arts with digital technology, the exhibition highlighted the prince's most notable achievements across the positions he has held, alongside his development initiatives and humanitarian messages, making it an inspiring platform for reflecting on a leadership, poetic and cultural journey that has left a lasting mark on the Kingdom's history.

The exhibition drew broad attendance from across society — officials, intellectuals, general and university students, and artists, alongside those interested in thought and culture — in an event that combined creativity and identity and opened avenues for cultural and intellectual dialogue.

HRH Prince Saud bin Mishal bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Governor of Makkah region, had inaugurated the exhibition on April 3 at Abadi Al-Jawhar Arena, describing it as an important national platform that embodies the depth of Prince Khaled Al-Faisal's cultural character.
