The Historic District Diriyah

Diriyah, located near Riyadh, is a historic district known as the birthplace of the Saudi state and a symbol of Saudi heritage. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to At-Turaif, a 15th-century mudbrick district that became the capital of the First Saudi State in the 18th century. Rich with Najdi architecture, Diriyah represents Saudi Arabia’s roots. Today, it’s being transformed through the Diriyah Gate project, which aims to make it a major cultural and tourism hub, offering visitors a blend of history, traditional markets, museums, and modern amenities.#diriyah #riyadh #saudiarabia #saudi
