Om
Hurtige fakta: Mere end 30 restaurerede bygninger fra hele Saudi-Arabiens provinser er møjsommeligt blevet flyttet og genopbygget på dette 4.000 kvadratmeter store område. Hver struktur fortæller en historie om regional arkitektur, fra kystnære korallstenshuse til bjergfæstninger lavet af lokal sten og palmestammer.
Højdepunkter: Al-Qatt Al-Asiri-huset har vægge, der er helt dækket af farverige geometriske vægmalerier malet af kvinder, en traditionel kunstform nu anerkendt af UNESCO. Du kan stå inde i et rum, hvor hver overflade fortæller en historie gennem lyse trekanter, diamanter og zigzag-mønstre påført i lag af naturlige pigmenter.
Insidertips
- Skip the main entrance rush and enter through the side gate near the pottery workshop for a quieter start.
- The date press station in the central courtyard offers fresh date juice that differs from anything sold in supermarkets.
- Position yourself on the elevated wooden walkway at magic hour for layered shots of the mudbrick towers against the Khobar skyline.
- Bring a refillable water bottle; there are free water stations near the restrooms behind the main restaurant.
