Regional contests across Asia, Africa, and Europe were also featured, highlighting Saudi Arabia's global efforts in Quranic service.
Complementary exhibits highlighted aspects of Saudi culture, including traditional attire, Arabic calligraphy, and the serving of Saudi coffee and dates. The exhibition also introduced a range of digital initiatives developed by the Ministry, such as the 3D Hajj and Umrah app—an innovative tool using interactive technology to deliver engaging religious content.
