Project

    Diriyah

    Experience over 600 years of authentic Najdi culture and history through a unique heritage experience, educational and cultural opportunities, and world-class residential living at the incredible Diriyah.

     

     

    Just 15 minutes northwest of Riyadh, Diriyah is the home of the At-Turaif UNESCO World Heritage Site, a beautifully preserved mud-brick city that was the birthplace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the original home of House Al Saud. Combining traditional Najdi architectural styles with modern urbanism, Diriyah is a place that emotionally connects with visitors and celebrates the destination's rich heritage, revealing the origins of modern Saudi Arabia and the spiritual values it is rooted in.

    This $62.2bn development, a giga-project under the Public Investment Fund, offers a unique opportunity to visit, live, work, shop, dine, and celebrate the wonder of the birthplace of the Kingdom’s rich heritage and culture. Designed to be a sustainable landmark, Diriyah is delivering initiatives focused on water conservation, energy efficiency, wellness, culture and heritage preservation, and climate change resilience. This new city is 100% walkable, promoting a healthy population.
