A variety of events reflecting the Kingdoms culture will be displayed. These include a pavilion showing Al-Qatt Al-Asiri, the traditionally female interior wall decoration, an ancient art form considered as a key element of the identity of the region of Asir, added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
