"Organizing such a monumental event required exceptional precision, extensive expertise, and highly effective teamwork," said Eisa Alsubousi, strategic and creative head of the organizing committee. The team excelled not only in coordinating participants but also in overcoming logistical challenges, integrating visual effects, and balancing cultural elements.
