Saudi Arabia's capital is lighting up with the Noor Riyadh event, which began after the city won the bid to host Expo 2030.
“Riyadh will light up the world with Expo 2030 and Noor Riyadh is the perfect way to share with the rest of the world,” said Razan Abed, a Saudi visitor to the light and art event.
Ms Abed echoed the pulsating excitement felt throughout the country, but specifically Riyadh, after the capital won the Expo 2030 bid this week. Saudis from all walks of life celebrated the decision with tears and shouts of joy.
“It was a full moon and the fireworks that broke out in central Riyadh just blew our minds,” Ms Abed told The National.
On Tuesday evening, Riyadh's sky was lit up with fireworks as well as drones that displayed the message: “Riyadh: the World’s Choice.”
The kingdom is expecting about 40 million Expo 2030 site visits when it hosts the event.
But the lead-up to Expo 2030 will be filled with a variety of events, including Noor Riyadh, the world's largest light art festival, which has opened to the public.
International artists, curators and art enthusiasts visiting the area said they were blown away by the kingdom and all it has to offer.
Last year, Noor Riyadh broke Guinness World Records for the largest display on a building interface, the longest distance covered for a light laser display and the biggest light laser display, among others.
“I learnt from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, honestly, when it comes to leading events such as Noor Riyadh,” said Nouf AlMoneef, director of the event.
This year, Noor Riyadh is showcasing more than 120 artworks, large-scale installations and immersive projections by more than 100 artists from 35 countries in a bid to transform the Saudi capital into a “gallery without walls”, said Ms AlMoneef.
“The Saudi Crown Prince pushed his citizens, his people, he made us ambitious. He made us love the country more, love the city, to want to give more, to want to be part of it. I really want to be part of this,” she added.
This year's theme for Noor Riyadh is “The Bright Side of the Desert Moon” and explores light as a means of connecting humanity.
Local Saudi artists opened up their studios for international artists to show their works.
“And that's amazing. My favourite part of this, personally, engaging emerging artists and engaging local artists within the community,” Ms AlMoneef told The National.
Miguel Blanco-Carrasco, strategy adviser for Noor Riyadh, told The National: “This is the best edition I think to date with the level of artists that we are gathering, the level of curatorial engagement, the participation from the citizens. We are going to bring more than a thousand permanent artworks to Riyadh city.
“The technology that we use in a lot of these artworks is what actually leads us to achieve those Guinness World Records. We work with a lot of artists that are at the intersection between what is technologically possible and the artistic component- so we work with AI, with VR, with AR.”
Mr Blanco-Carrasco said the “energy in Saudi Arabia is fascinating” and Riyadh is at the core of everything in the world.
“We will work towards Vision 2030 to continue to grow the economy, to change the social fabric, to bring investment from abroad, to bring tourism, to open the country,” he said.
Artworks are spread across several main hubs and additional locations throughout Riyadh, including King Abdullah Financial District, Salam Park, Wadi Hanifa, Wadi Namar and Jax District.
Khaled Makhshoush, a pixel artist from Jazan, attended the opening with his mother.
“I was contacted by Noor Riyadh to do a pixel art piece. It's in Wadi Hanifah, which has nature with an urban landscape which is part of my artwork,” he explained.
He said he is “very happy to be a part of Noor Riyadh”.
“Last year I was the audience and now I get to be part of it.”
Saudi artist Madhawi Algwaiz, is showcasing a light installation titled Thurayya in Wadi Namad. She told The National that the artwork is an ode to her country and lineage.
“I am so scared of stars – they make you seem so small, but I seek them out. Because stars are also tied to our own history, not just as Saudis, as Arabs – astrology was developed by Arabs. The names to this day are Arab names, including Thurayya,” she said.
Arab literature also uses stars and constellations, she said, adding that it also inspired her to work with the theme.
“The constellations are also a big part of the way that my grandparents lived. My grandfather or his brother used to know the star placements and they could navigate their way through stars. I always tell everyone my grandfather is my secret collaborator,” she added.
The event's lead curator this year is Jerome Sans, with curators are Pedro Alonzo, Fahad Bin Naif and Alaa Tarabzouni also participating.
Mr Alonzo said that what really “struck” him is that “this is truly an exhibition for the people of Riyadh”.
“It really is an event for the people,” he said.
“I love working with local artists and curators, visiting sites and developing projects.”
Superflex, an art collective from Denmark, said their virtual projection at Noor Riyadh goes beyond human perspective and into interspecies relations, highlighting how coexistence and compassion is key to humanity.
Hana Almilli, a Saudi-Syrian artist, said her work is a reflection of identity and combats the feeling of being estranged in a foreign land.
“I always found it very important to reconnect where I come from, my ancestors and the idea that sand creates all humans,” she told The National.
Two artists from Jeddah, Amr Abuzaid and Pharah Al Ghalib, created an interactive installation at KAFD. The structure of three parallel glass walls creates two illuminated pathways for visitors to walk through.
“I was really inspired by the psychology of the space, how you can use light to make people feel about it the space. Light has such an impact and power,” Ms Al Ghalib told The National, while Mr Abuzaid added that the installation creates a contemplative space.
A massive exhibition titled Refracted Identities, Shared Futures will also run in Riyadh's Jax District, a permanent hub of Saudi creatives and artists, from November 30 to March 2.
Noor Riyadh runs from November 30 to December 16.

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.

Pharaoh's curse
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
Tips for job-seekers
- Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
- Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.

Country-size land deals
US interest in purchasing territory is not as outlandish as it sounds. Here's a look at some big land transactions between nations:
Louisiana Purchase
If Donald Trump is one who aims to broker "a deal of the century", then this was the "deal of the 19th Century". In 1803, the US nearly doubled in size when it bought 2,140,000 square kilometres from France for $15 million.
Florida Purchase Treaty
The US courted Spain for Florida for years. Spain eventually realised its burden in holding on to the territory and in 1819 effectively ceded it to America in a wider border treaty.
Alaska purchase
America's spending spree continued in 1867 when it acquired 1,518,800 km2 of Alaskan land from Russia for $7.2m. Critics panned the government for buying "useless land".
The Philippines
At the end of the Spanish-American War, a provision in the 1898 Treaty of Paris saw Spain surrender the Philippines for a payment of $20 million.
US Virgin Islands
It's not like a US president has never reached a deal with Denmark before. In 1917 the US purchased the Danish West Indies for $25m and renamed them the US Virgin Islands.
Gwadar
The most recent sovereign land purchase was in 1958 when Pakistan bought the southwestern port of Gwadar from Oman for 5.5bn Pakistan rupees.
