RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, in cooperation with the Moroccan Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, will hold the Jusoor (Bridges) Exhibition in Casablanca from Dec. 13-31.
The event’s pavilions will highlight the strong relations between Saudi Arabia and Morocco, and the two countries’ care for Muslims around the world.
Rare Islamic manuscripts and literature will also be on display, as well as photos and documentaries about Makkah and Madinah, and images of historic mosques.
Visitors will be able to virtually visit the Grand Mosque in Makkah using VR technology.
The exhibition will open to visitors daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Last month, the Saudi ministry concluded the Jusoor Exhibition at Skanderbeg Square in Tirana, Albania. The event ran for 13 days and attracted more than 70,000 visitors.
About 10,000 copies of the Holy Qur’an were distributed to visitors, along with Albanian and Macedonian language translations.
Attendees were provided with information about the Kingdom’s initiatives in serving the Two Holy Mosques, as well as its efforts in facilitating Hajj and Umrah for pilgrims.
Visitors learned about the Kingdom’s commitment to serving Islam and Muslims, and caring for the Mus’haf through the King Fahd Glorious Qur’an Printing Complex.
The exhibition showcased the ministry’s mobile apps, such as Correct Quotation and Rushd. Visitors explored informative corners that displayed old manuscripts, Saudi coffee, Arabic calligraphy and traditional Saudi clothing.
