Wrapped around the Kaaba in the Grand Mosque, the Kiswah isn’t just a cloth—it’s a masterpiece. Woven with silk and embroidered with gold and silver thread, its intricate inscriptions and delicate ornamentation make it a symbol of faith, tradition, and exquisite craftsmanship. And now, visitors can admire its details like never before at the Western Hajj Terminal of King Abdulaziz International Airport, where the biennale is running until May 25.
Hosted by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, this showcase isn’t just about admiring the beauty of the Kiswah—it’s about celebrating Islamic art and culture.
The biennale isn’t just about the Kiswah—it’s also packed with historical Islamic artifacts and contemporary artworks, making it a must-visit for anyone fascinated by Islamic heritage and creativity
So, if you’re in Jeddah, don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness the Kiswah’s grand debut outside of Makkah.
Who knows? This might be the only time in history you’ll get this close to such a sacred and stunning piece of art!
