Diriyah Season Extends "Enduring Resilience" until 11 January

Diriyah Season announced today the extension of the Enduring Resilience exhibition until January 11, 2025, instead of the previously scheduled date of December 31. The exhibition commemorates the bicentennial anniversary of the establishment of the Second Saudi State and honors its founder, Imam Turki bin Abdullah.

Enduring Resilience, located in the middle of Bujairi Terrace, aims to educate visitors about Imam Turki bin Abdullah, a prominent Saudi leader known for his influential character. The exhibition narrates the historical, political, and social events surrounding Imam Turki's journey from his departure from Diriyah to his entry into Riyadh. It features a collection of digital media that highlights various events and stories from the life of the Imam.

Diriyah was the starting point for Imam Turki bin Abdullah, who was born there in 1183 AH / 1769 AD and lived during the time of his grandfather, Imam Muhammad bin Saud, the founder of the First Saudi State, when Diriyah was at the height of its glory and prosperity, serving as a significant economic center and a symbol of abundance. Imam Turki acquired wisdom and leadership principles in At-Turaif District and its palaces, and he received his education in the religious schools of Diriyah. His character was distinguished by understanding, wisdom, and justice.

The exhibition, which opens during both the morning and evening sessions, will continue to receive visitors until January 11. It presents historical narratives in a chronological sequence, utilizing a variety of visual and auditory effects, along with several distinctive aesthetic details.

There are several sections in the exhibition, including the Introduction section, the Birth and Upbringing of Imam Turki, Reclaiming the Land, In Turki's Cave, Al-Ajrab Sword, Turki the Hero, Epic of Glory, a section that offers a technical and textual overview of the family tree, and Turki's Legacy.
