Teave
Kiired faktid: More than 30 restored buildings from across Saudi Arabia's provinces were painstakingly relocated and reconstructed on this 4,000-square-meter site. Each structure tells a story of regional architecture, from coastal coralstone houses to mountain fortresses made of local stone and palm trunks.
Esiletõstmised: The Al-Qatt Al-Asiri house features walls covered entirely in colorful geometric murals painted by women, a traditional art form now recognized by UNESCO. You can stand inside a room where every surface tells a story through bright triangles, diamonds, and zigzag patterns applied in layers of natural pigments.
