The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), in partnership with the Shaikh Ebrahim bin Mohammed Al Khalifa Center for Culture and Research, has officially inaugurated the Place of Remembrance in the heart of AlUla Old Town, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The project offers visitors an outstanding cultural experience that honors the shared heritage and collective memory of AlUla’s community and the timeless beauty of its traditional architecture.
The Place of Remembrance represents the first remarkable milestone in the institutional partnership between the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) and the Shaikh Ebrahim Center, following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in 2023.
The initiative also embodies a shared vision to safeguard cultural identity, document intangible heritage, and introduce innovative programs that enhance creativity and foster community engagement.
Through three meticulously restored heritage homes, the project is designed as an immersive, multi-sensory journey, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to experience AlUla‘s rich tapestry of stories, architecture, traditional arts and oral histories.
This experience culminates on a terrace overlooking panoramic views of AlUla’s winding streets, oasis, and surrounding landscape, a stunning space that celebrates memory, community, and place.
Therefore, Place of Remembrance reflects RCU’s vision to establish AlUla Old Town as a vibrant center of culture and creativity. By connecting the past with the present, the commission aims to present unmissable experiences inspired by heritage and expressed in a contemporary voice.
