Heritage of Northern Borders Region
The Citizen’s Museum of Jaza Al-Dahmashi has gathered many heritage artifacts and old handicrafts that reflect the modern history of the Northern Borders region. This heritage museum attracts local enthusiasts and visitors alike. It displays tools and items used in the past, along with various objects owned by the nomadic Bedouins and other inhabitants, to highlight the region’s history and heritage.
Al-Dahamshi, who has dedicated part of his home in Arar to collecting heritage items, folk tools, and several old Saudi coins, clarified that he started this endeavor over 30 years ago, during which he has collected 6,000 heritage pieces that vary in age from one item to another. He emphasized that some heritage pieces were gifted to him by his friends and relatives, while others were purchased.
He noted that the museum, “A Place for the Past,” contains various old household items such as copperware, ancient coffee pots, food containers, light weapons, swords, daggers, car plates, old school books, and travel tickets.
