The oasis includes several exhibits and zones, such as the exhibition marking 90 years of Saudi-American relations, which highlights key historical moments and shared cultural aspects between the two countries.

It features the "Oasis Valley" zone, providing a live broadcast of the US president's visit, along with various media services.

Additionally, the "Oasis Exhibition" zone showcases the transformative projects under the Saudi Vision 2030 and joint projects between Saudi Arabia and the United States, along with four studios for local and international television channels.

The ninth edition of the Media Oasis is designed over an area of 2,000 square meters, featuring the latest technologies and several areas dedicated to journalists.

It is set to support coverage of the US president's visit to Saudi Arabia and is expected to accommodate over 2,500 local and international media professionals.

The oasis is organised with the participation of several government entities, including the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC), the NEOM project, New Murabba Development Company, Qiddiya Investment Company, and Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2034 World Cup.
