Its presence at the Western Hajj Terminal on the official opening of the world\u2019s first Islamic Arts Biennale today, is symbolic of the airline\u2019s commitment to the Kingdom\u2019s continued development, this time through the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Themed \u2018Awwal Bait\u2019, meaning \u2018First House\u2019, in reference to the Holy Ka\u2019bah in Makkah, the Biennale takes visitors on an immersive, multi-sensory journey through the past, present, and future of the Islamic Arts, featuring over 40 established and emerging artists from around the globe, over 50 new commissions, 280 artefacts and over 15 never-before-exhibited artefacts. Saudi Arabian heritage and artistic talent is on full display with 18 Saudi artists presenting over 40 pieces of work, in addition to items loaned from 13 institutions in the Kingdom including Haramain Authority in Makkah, the National Museum, the King Abdulaziz Library, the Museum of Antiquities and Heritage, the King Fahad National Library, the General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet\u2019s Mosque and the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic studies, among others.
