Ministry of Culture Brings Saudi Heritage Tech to LEAP 2026

The Ministry of Culture will showcase 14 interactive technologies and experiences blending Saudi heritage with artificial intelligence, digital interaction, and interactive media at LEAP 2026. The displays will be hosted at the Ministry's pavilion inside the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, north of الرياض, during the event running from 31 August to 3 September 2026.

The experiences are designed to let visitors engage directly with elements of Saudi culture through modern technology, offering a hands-on way to explore heritage themes within one of the region's largest technology gatherings.

Reported event hours vary across listings, with some showing 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and others showing 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Visitors are advised to confirm the session schedule before attending.

Tickets and admission

A general pass is priced at SAR190 and is reported to cover the exhibition and conference program. A priority pass costs approximately SAR2,253, while a VIP pass is around SAR11,830. Student admission is reported as free, subject to eligibility verification.

Registration and ticketing are handled through the official LEAP event registration channel. No أبشر, مقيم, قوى, ناجز, نفاذ, توكلنا, or other government procedure is required for visitor entry. No separate fee, validity period, or booking requirement is reported for the Ministry of Culture pavilion itself.

For residents and visitors interested in technology and culture, the pavilion offers an accessible way to see how Saudi heritage is being presented through new digital tools under one roof in الرياض.
