“Al Janadriyah is getting better every year, It means to me heritage; enabling generations to learn from their ancestors. What distinguishes the festival is that it brings all regions of the Kingdom in one place”.

“I had the great pleasure of visiting the exhibition of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology at Janadriya 25. I found the exhibition to be a dream come true. There was information on science in the modern era as well as information on science during the Golden Age of Islam. I hope for their success and a bright future”.
