Havas Events Paris, the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) and the IMA planned an inauguration for 500 guests, including members of the Saudi royal family, the culture ministers of France and Saudi Arabia, and personalities from the worlds of archaeology, culture and media.

In the afternoon, a press conference introduced journalists to the little-known secrets of AlUla and revealed the RCU’s accomplishments in carefully opening the site to the world.
