The Islamic Arts Biennale 2025 in Jeddah is ending soon: here's everything to do
It’s coming to a close this Sunday…
Saudi Arabia has been supporting local and international artists in showcasing their artworks to a wider audience. One way the country has been accomplishing this is by launching the Diriyah Biennale Foundation and hosting the first-ever art biennales in the Kingdom. And now, the Islamic Arts Biennale 2025 in Jeddah is coming to a close this weekend.
The second edition of the Islamic Arts Biennale will host two concerts performed by Rouh Al Sharq Choir today (Friday May 23), as part of the Biennale’s closing week special. Book your SAR160 tickets here.

Organised by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, the Biennale is currently taking place at the Western Hajj Terminal of King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
The “Biennale Finale” features musical performances, weekend activities, unique culinary experiences, and a 3-day symposium including panel discussions and engaging workshops. Divided into two themed days, including “Re-evaluating Frameworks,” which focuses on public engagement and multidisciplinary approaches to exhibitions, and “Future Possibilities,” which is a nod to the future of biennales and looks toward digital horizons and the broader impact of the exhibitions. All panel discussions will be open for public participation.
Visitors of the Islamic Arts Biennale also have the chance to experience interactive food and culinary experiences, offering a diverse range of local and international cuisines.
The immersive foodie experiences highlight the culinary arts and its diversity across different Islamic cultures. Bring the kiddos and they can enjoy a weekend of fun games and winning prizes.
If you still haven’t explored the exhibition, this is your last chance to. This year, the theme is “In Between,” and the festival showcases masterpieces of the two Holy Mosques that have never been exhibited, as well as contemporary artworks by local and international artists.
The Islamic Arts Biennale consists of seven exhibitions, including AlBidayah, AlMadar, AlMuqtani, AlMidhallah, AlMukarramah, AlMunawwarah, and AlMusalla, spread out through different galleries and outdoor spaces, across 100,00 square meters of a dedicated space.
