The tour included a visit to Kuwait, then Riyadh and Jeddah, where Dr. Pierre Caye gave two lectures. The first lecture in Kuwait was entitled “Thoughts on the Concept of Heritage” and the second in Jeddah was entitled “Ornament at the Service of Cultural Dialog” on the sidelines of the Islamic Arts Biennale currently being held there.
This visit was also an opportunity to meet many personalities from the academic world, many researchers and heads of scientific organizations and cultural institutions in Kuwait, Riyadh, and Jeddah. Most of the meetings resulted in cooperation projects that will be held in the near future with several parties, such as the conference scheduled to be held in 2026 with the House of Islamic Arts in Jeddah on the ornament.
Dr. Makram Abbes announced that another conference will be held in Kuwait in cooperation with Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah and the National Council next May. It will focus on new research at the global level in the field of studying ancient Arab thought.
