Arc de Triomphe Students Explore the Kingdom’s Historical Roots in Ad-Diriyah

On December 12, 2025, students from Arc de Triomphe School embarked on a major educational visit to the historic site of Ad-Diriyah, the birthplace and first capital of the Saudi state.

A Journey into the Heart of National History

This cultural immersion was designed as a path through the core of national history. It allowed our students—representing many different nationalities—to discover an exceptional heritage where memory, traditional architecture, and legacy intertwine.

Museums, Palaces, and Living Heritage

Through exploring museums, restored palaces, and vivid historical reenactments, the students gained a firsthand understanding of the Kingdom’s political and cultural foundations. This experience provided them with a deeper appreciation of the country that hosts them.

A Vision of Integrated Education

This initiative perfectly reflects the educational vision of Arc de Triomphe School, which combines the excellence of the French curriculum with the teaching of Saudi Identity subjects. Our goal is to foster open-minded, cultured learners who are conscious of the values that shape societies.

This landmark experience illustrates the school's commitment to providing an international education rooted in knowledge, respect, and cultural openness.
