The Saudi National Museum in Riyadh has wrapped up its groundbreaking exhibition, "Hijrah: In the Footsteps of the Prophet," organized by the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) in collaboration with local and international cultural institutions.

The exhibition attracted a significant number of visitors, including ambassadors from various friendly nations in the Kingdom.

This mobile exhibition traveled to numerous locations during its six-month journey, spotlighting Prophet Mohammed's journey from Makkah to Madinah. Following its first stop in the Eastern Region by Ithra, the exhibition made its second stop at the Saudi National Museum.

Established in 2018, Ithra serves as a versatile cultural and creative hub, fostering self-discovery and encouraging innovation and creativity. It aims to bolster the Kingdom's knowledge economy.
