Looks like it is not to be missed.  Running till Feb 13.

I went there last weekend, I would say it was pretty good, up to international standards (and that's only because it IS an international expo, not something Saudi made).

Budget upto 5 hours, as there is lots to see and it is extremely crowded every day.  I would suggest going right at 5 pm when they open.  Click link above for map and timings.

It is free, but take money with you, you will see why.

Hi Traoe!!

I wasn't even aware of this-- I going to see it ! Why do I need a load of cash just to go? Just curious!!

Hey pajaroflor, you are back!  Have you been on holiday till now?!

No need for loads of money, just a bit, perhaps 200-300, if you decide to purchase any of the memorabilia on sale there, which includes some models of early scientific instruments, the 1001 Inventions book by NatGeo, and other small souvenirs, especially for kids.  Also, there is a food court there, but is quite cheap.

Have fun!

This sounds cool!! How come this stuff doesn't get advertised!

Well, there was an article in Arab News about it, but other than that, I haven't seen any advertisement!
