A focal point of Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District, this spectacular conference centre features a dramatic, faceted roof that evokes the landforms of the desert terrain.
Made possible by inventive engineering solutions, the state-of-the-art building pioneers flexible conferencing – providing nearly 1,300,000 square feet of conference facilities, a multipurpose event hall with operable walls, a 600-seat auditorium with full lecture and cinema support, and a ‘digital forum’ that allows all venues to be networked. It also contains restaurants, an elevated public concourse and a monorail station.
