In 2023, Noor Riyadh turned the city into a mesmerizing spectacle of light, featuring hues of deep reds, vibrant oranges, and electric blues. Held under the theme The Bright Side of the Desert Moon, the event showcased over 120 large-scale light art installations and building projections, created by more than 100 international and local artists. The artwork was displayed across five major hubs, including King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), Wadi Hanifah, JAX District, Salam Park, and Wadi Namar. The awe-inspiring festival set six Guinness World Records, including the most drones launched in a week and the largest temporary skate park in the world.
