MERATH (Middle East Museums & Heritage Expo

Merath Expo 2026 is Saudi Arabia’s first dedicated trade exhibition focused on museums, heritage, and cultural development, taking place at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center.

Bringing together museum leaders, cultural institutions, government entities, designers, technology providers, and specialist suppliers, the event offers a gateway into one of the world’s fastest-growing cultural markets as the Kingdom accelerates investment under Vision 2030. 

Importantly, Merath Expo is co-located with the Saudi Entertainment and Amusement (SEA) Expo and the Saudi Light & Sound (SLS) Expo, creating an even broader platform that connects the museum and heritage sector with the wider attractions, entertainment, and live experience industries, providing attendees with unrivalled opportunities for networking, collaboration, and business development across the experience economy.

The UK’s Department for Business and Trade (in partnership with Experience UK) will host the UK Pavilion and other associated activities – details of the full programme will be announced later this year.
