During this era, the nation witnessed qualitative leaps in various fields under Saudi Vision 2030, and massive development projects were launched that brought about remarkable transformations, earning the Kingdom a prominent and important position and affirming its leadership globally.

The exhibition also featured a heritage corner reflecting aspects of life in the past, by displaying a number of traditional artifacts, tools, and historical photographs that embody the details of social and economic life at that time.
