When the wind carries the scent of lavender, Diriyah awakens its memories, recounting its first story, when determination intertwined with pride, bearing witness to a journey that began on the fertile lands embraced by Wadi Hanifa, a story still being written to this day. The scene is illuminated by the star Sirius, while the falcon soars across the horizon with its piercing vision. The palm trees stand tall, their roots deeply embedded in the land, drinking in the morning sun and casting a generous shade upon the earth. In this visual symphony, nature and history intertwine, forming a poetic masterpiece, its meanings sung in memory with an unceasing rhythm, unforgettable and boundless. Its melody declares that what is to come will be no less glorious than what has passed.
