 The Hira Winter events attracted more than 84,000 visitors

Over 84,000 people attended the Hira Winter festivities, which were hosted by the Hira Cultural District and just ended in Makkah.

One of the highlights was the Revelation Exhibition, which combined innovation and tradition by simulating the account of Prophet Muhammad's revelation using state-of-the-art technology.

In addition to a representation of the initial revelation, the show included a pavilion describing the Cave of Hira and Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, the Mother of Believers.

Visitors were given a unique experience that blended the past and present thanks to rare historical items including old stone inscriptions of Qur'anic verses and a photographic copy of Uthman bin Affan's Qur'an manuscript.

Poetry served as the Arabs' diwan (archive of culture) as a means of recording events and feelings, as seen by poetic performances influenced by Arab history.

Poetic jousts enhanced the cultural experience by showcasing live interaction and pride in Arabic literature and language.

The Caravan Experience highlighted camel caravans' significance in ancient Arab trade and civilization while reviving their cultural legacy.

Visitors were transported back in time to the days of old trade routes, when camels were essential for moving cargo and making travel easier.

Adventure seekers were drawn to the Challenge Zone by its assortment of games that combined competition and fun.

Visitors were charmed by the Winter Theater's participatory performances, which included games and competitions based on winter customs.

There was a Crafts and Heritage Industries Market in the neighborhood.
