A noteworthy exhibition titled I Am A Rawi: Sharing Stories From AlUla has opened in Paris, celebrating the rich narratives of Saudi Arabia’s AlUla from the perspective of Rawis—local storytellers and cultural ambassadors. This initiative, backed by UNESCO and the Royal Commission for AlUla, seeks to preserve and share the region’s heritage through photography. The exhibition aims to encourage cultural dialogue and foster connections between diverse communities. It is accessible to the public at UNESCO headquarters, providing a unique cultural experience at no cost.
