"A fusion of cutting-edge technologies and deep history": journalists from Arab countries visit the exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA

---

On July 22, journalists taking part in the RT Arabic experience exchange programme visited the National Centre RUSSIA. Media professionals from seven Arab countries (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon, Morocco, and Palestine) took a guided tour of the exposition "Journey Across Russia." The guests were introduced to the main landmarks, technological achievements, culture, and traditions of all the federal districts of our country.

Among the participants were representatives of leading Arab media outlets, including Sada El Balad, Roya TV, the Jordan News Agency Petra, Al24 News, Voice of Lebanon, and Syrian Television. They shared their impressions. 

"This exposition felt like a real journey through the history and culture of Russia. I discovered how vast this country is and how rich its legacy is — from music to traditional crafts. Before, I knew very little about Russia, but today I’ve learned a lot. What impressed me most was how advanced technologies and deep-rooted history are brought together here — such different realms, yet both presented equally vividly and engagingly. The architecture, the visuals, the atmosphere — it’s all very inspiring. This is my first time in Moscow, but definitely not the last," said Mariam Said, a correspondent from Egypt.  

Sara Ibrahim, a journalist with the economic newspaper Al-Borsa from Egypt, was visiting the National Centre RUSSIA for the second time.

"My first visit here was two months ago. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to come back. I especially liked the interactive stands where you could try working with the technology. Everything is done on a grand scale and is incredibly engaging. The impressions are unforgettable," Sara Ibrahim emphasised. 

Hayat Hamdan, a journalist from Palestine, was struck by how the exposition showcases the country’s development in various fields — culture, agriculture, and technology.

"I really liked the section dedicated to traditional women’s clothing — we have similar garments in Palestine, so it felt very familiar. I also remember the interactive submarine space, where it felt as if we were descending to great depths. The snowy mountain landscape displays were truly impressive," said Hayat Hamdan.  

Media professionals from the Arab world noted that they would definitely recommend visiting the "Journey Across Russia" exposition to their friends, colleagues, and acquaintances coming to Moscow.  

The special RT Arabic experience exchange programme is part of the "New Generation" initiative, organised in cooperation with Rossotrudnichestvo.
