Event Overview

Layali Diriyah 2025 transformed a 40,000 sqm palm farm beside the UNESCO World Heritage site of At-Turaif into a temporary open-air destination blending art, gastronomy, and heritage. Organized around three themed zones — Heritage and Craftsmanship, Education and Knowledge, and Nature — the installation drew on Najdi architectural motifs to tell the story of Diriyah's past, present, and future. Illuminated works like 'Birds of Diriyah' and 'Palm Fronds' turned the site's natural palm groves into glowing, sculptural landmarks after dark.

Our Role & Delivery

Working alongside lead designer Designlab Experience, our team supported on-site production and build of the light installations — including structural fabrication, lighting rigging, and finishing across the palm grove site — helping bring the concept to life for visitors.
