The leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia takes great care of this festival, from the importance of the necessity of linking the contemporary cultural formation of the Saudi citizen with his rich heritage, which constitutes a large part of his country’s history.
The idea of the Janadriyah Festival came from the existence of an integrated village for the Saudi heritage, from ancient costume and tools that were used in the life of the Saudi human person more than fifty years ago in addition to the fine arts exhibitions and annual camel races that took a strong reputation at the national and regional level.
The handicrafts occupy a prominent place in the Janadriyah Festival for their high position as one of the various aspects of popular heritage, in addition to the traditional crafts that define the modern generation with its dilemmas and heritage, highlighting the features of creativity and art and working to attract visitors to the festival.
