Al-Ula revitalizes historic buildings

Al-Ula Governorate presents a unique model in transforming historic and heritage buildings into vibrant spaces for life and culture through rehabilitation projects that preserve their authenticity and architectural value. These buildings, including old houses, squares, and markets, have been repurposed into centers for exhibitions, cafes, and traditional crafts, while maintaining their original elements and traditional construction techniques. Notable examples include the Dar Tanourah project, which converts historic homes into sustainable hotel establishments, and the Hijaz Railway Station, which has been adapted into a hotel. Additionally, the surrounding oases have been revitalized to strengthen the link between heritage and environment. This approach aims to enhance cultural heritage, boost tourism, and support the local economy, all while preserving the sense of place and hosting cultural events throughout the year.
