Visitors are flocking to the “Roads of Arabia: Archaeolog­ical Treasures of Saudi Arabia” exhibition at Benaki Museum in Athens. The exhibition has been organized by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH).

“The presentati­on is exciting with its colors and lights, and what I witnessed … motivates me to visit the National Museum in Riyadh,” said visitor Odiris.

“I urge everyone to visit this exhibition and learn about cultures and important historical epochs.”

Visitor Athena Ekonomizo said: “I learned a lot, and I was astonished by the Kingdom’s developmen­t. I feel that I was given the opportunit­y to see the history of the Arab world and the Arabian Peninsula.”

Visitor Donald said: “I’ve learned a lot about the history of the Arabian Peninsula. I was fascinated by the exhibition’s organizati­on. Not only does it showcase the history of the Arab world, it also uncovers the historical developmen­t of Saudi Arabia.”

He added: “Everyone should visit the exhibition since we don’t study a lot about Saudi Arabia at school, and this is a chance to understand Saudi culture. I was fascinated that the Kingdom is a new state unified by King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud in 1932.”

Italian Orazza Peluisi said: “The organizati­on … makes you feel that you are in the Kingdom … The exhibits are exciting and beautiful. It didn’t occur to me to see these crafts in Saudi culture.” Peluisi, who used to work in Alkhobar, added: “I recommend visiting the Kingdom … The citizens are hospitable, the food is delicious, and Saudi Arabia is a different and special country.”
