World Luxury Group has announced that HRH Prince Turki bin Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud will open the World Luxury Expo on May 3 at the Ritz Carlton – the fifth time it is being held under the headline sponsorship of American Express Saudi Arabia.

The World Luxury Expo, which runs from May 3-5, will showcase an impressive range of high-end, handmade and limited edition luxury products to discerning visitors. It is the 10th edition overall.

At this year’s event in the Saudi capital, visitors will have the chance to test drive the latest Aston Martin sports car, or view a two-man personal submarine that allows passengers to explore underwater at their leisure – the ultimate superyacht accessory. A large delegation will be present from Japan with luxury fashion and accessories. Visitors can also view one of the safest and smartest autonomous aerial vehicles (AAV) – “the flying car” of the future for luxury personal transport. Other products include the world-famous Collectors Cars from Seven Car Lounge and one of the best collections of diamonds and jewelry seen in the entire history of the event.

Ahmad Al Oraij, CEO of the event organizer, Luxurious Events, said: “We are honored to have HRH Prince Turki bin Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud as our patron. The World Luxury Expo is a prime opportunity for highly affluent visitors to experience one of the most exclusive exhibitions in the Gulf and beyond. It will undoubtedly be a huge success largely due to our close relationship with American Express and their clients, all of whom want to see something unique in the world of luxury.”

Assim Al Shamsi of American Express said: “At the World Luxury Expo in Riyadh we will be offering access to products that are the epitome of excellence in terms of design and craftsmanship. They will be available for those individuals who want to be a cut above the rest.”

American Express recently announced an extension of their sponsorship of the World Luxury Expo in Riyadh and Jeddah until 2018.

The Jeddah event will be held at the new, majestic and highly anticipated Ritz Carlton.
