Here, you will trace the story of Arabic calligraphy across the Islamic world, from its earliest beginnings to its most contemporary artistic expressions. Arabic calligraphy is a timeless art form whose creativity transcends boundaries. For centuries, it journeyed across continents, carrying with it the knowledge, sciences, and cultural identity of a great civilization. Within its elegant forms, the verses of the Holy Qur’an were preserved, beginning with Allah’s ﷻ command to read and honoring the pen as a symbol of knowledge and learning.

Ad-Diriyah used to be the capital of the Najd (the central plateau of the Arabian Peninsula) from the 15th century until the beginning of the 18th century. It is the birthplace of the first Saudi Kingdom and its importance in the history of the Arabian Peninsula was highlighted when it was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 2010, as the most brilliant example of Najdi architecture. The history of Ad-Diriyah goes back thousands of years as it was on an ancient trade and pilgrimage route, acting as a meeting point for those travelling to or from Asia, Africa and Europe.
