The venues

Riyadh's exhibition venues in facts

Riyadh has grown into the busiest new show city in the region, and its exhibitions are spread over several grounds. Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center lies in the north of the city on the airport road, a short drive from King Khalid International Airport, with large flat halls, wide entrances for heavy exhibits and a hotel and retail strip next door. The Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center, RICEC, is the older ground on King Abdullah Road, closer to the business districts and the hotels along the Olaya corridor. The very large technology and property shows of recent years have used the exhibition grounds at Malham, further north beyond the airport, where a show can take an hour to reach from the centre in traffic.

Which ground your show uses can change from one edition to the next. We confirm the venue and hall with you before the trip and plan the hotel around it, because in Riyadh the drive between hotel and hall decides how early the crew is on your stand.

Riyadh is one to two hours ahead of Germany, and the working week runs Sunday to Thursday, so show weeks frequently open on a Sunday or Monday. Direct flights from Frankfurt take around six hours; from Dubai, Riyadh is about two hours in the air, which is how it joins a combined Gulf trip.

Calendar

The big shows in Riyadh

LEAP in February is the technology week and has become one of the largest of its kind anywhere: national pavilions, start-up zones, ministerial keynotes and a stage programme that runs all day. Exhibitors here need photos of the stand before the crowds, a clean set of product and demo pictures, and vertical clips that go out while the show is trending. Big 5 Saudi in the same season is the construction show, with heavy exhibits, national pavilions and long days.

Cityscape Global in the autumn brings developers, architects and investors to Riyadh with some of the largest and most elaborately built stands in the region: scale models, screens and hospitality lounges that deserve an architectural photo set of their own. Saudi Build covers the building trade with materials, systems and machinery. Conferences, launches and award nights around these shows are covered on the same trip, whether in a hall or at a hotel.

How a Riyadh trip works: visas, logistics, payment

Our crew arranges its own visas and travel. For European passports the Saudi visa process is straightforward and takes days rather than weeks; you do not sponsor anything, we only ask you to register our exhibitor badges. We fly in the day before your first show day, are on the stand before the doors open, and work the same routine as in Dubai or Düsseldorf: empty stand and products first, then the team, then visitors and conversations, then interviews in a quiet slot with lavalier microphones and our own light. Footage is uploaded at midday and after closing, and the editing team in Germany cuts while your team is still at the show.

Saudi companies pay no German VAT. Pixer GmbH invoices in euro, 50 percent on booking and 50 percent on the show day, by bank transfer; we need your company name, address and commercial registration number for the invoice. Flights and hotel are quoted once per trip and shared between the exhibitors we cover in the same show week, and a Riyadh week is combined with Dubai or Doha whenever the dates line up, so the travel line stays small.

FAQ

Questions exhibitors ask about Riyadh

What does a trade fair photographer in Riyadh cost?

Basic €990 for two hours, Professional €1,490 for four hours, Full Day €1,990 for eight hours, all fixed and in euro. Flights and hotel are quoted once per trip and shared between the exhibitors we cover in the same show week.

Do Saudi companies pay German VAT?

No. Companies registered in Saudi Arabia, or anywhere outside the EU, are invoiced without German VAT. We need your company name, address and commercial registration number; payment is by bank transfer in euro, 50 percent on booking and 50 percent on the show day.

How does 24-hour delivery work from Riyadh?

The shooter uploads footage at midday and after the hall closes. The editing team in Germany, one to two hours behind Riyadh, cuts in the Pixer template during their own working day. First photos arrive the same evening, the finished set by the next morning at the latest.

Which languages does the crew speak?

English, Arabic, German and Persian. Briefing and direction on the stand in Arabic or English, interview subtitles in both.

How early should we book for LEAP or Cityscape Global?

Four to six weeks ahead, so visas, flights and hotel can be arranged and the trip built around several exhibitors. Short-notice bookings during a show week are possible when we are already in Saudi Arabia or the Gulf.

Do we need to arrange visas or permits for you?

No. Our crew handles its own visas and travel. You register our exhibitor badges with the organiser; as exhibitor you may film your own stand, and we ask for consent before filming other stands or recognisable visitors.

Can you also cover our launch, dinner or award night in Riyadh?

Yes. Launches, distributor dinners, hospitality evenings and stage moments around the show are covered by the same crew on the same trip, with the same 24-hour delivery.
