It brought together a national photography exhibition, workshops, training courses, and a photo contest among professional photographers who highlighted tourist sites, the natural environment of Saudi Arabia, and its heritage.

Regarded as the first forum of its kind, it gained great importance, and hopefully will encourage photographers to use the treasures of the Kingdom and show their appreciation of its beauty by taking photos of different sites around the Kingdom.
