RIYADH: A joint team of Saudi-French archaeologists, carrying out excavations on historical sites in Al-Kharj, discovered heritage artifacts belonging to the Stone and Bronze ages, and the Abbasid era, a major breakthrough for the promotion of heritage tourism in the Riyadh region.
A Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTNH) official said here on Sunday that Riyadh Governor Prince Faisal bin Bandar recently received the Saudi-French team which is carrying out the archaeological excavation and detection work at Al-Yamamah historical site in Al-Kharj.
“During the meeting, the governor was briefed on the work in progress that include the team’s research work for the fifth year of the archaeological survey in Al-Kharj,” the official said.
“During this period, the team discovered a Stone Age site in the northwest Shadida hills and a mosque at the historic Al-Bina site in the middle of Al-Kharj municipality.
The mosque, according to these archaeological experts, dates back to the Abbasid Era.
The joint team, while carrying out excavation work on the Ayn Dalai site, discovered some material remains and the initial findings indicate the site dates back to the Bronze Age.
In a bid to create a quantum leap in the course of caring for heritage tourism, the Riyadh Governorate and Al-Kharj Municipality in collaboration with the SCTNH and Ar-Riyadh Development Authority is also working to rehabilitate the King Abdulaziz Palace and its surrounding area in Al-Kharj, to transform it into a historical center. The project includes establishing a museum for Al-Kharj Municipality inside the historical palace.
The SCTNH effort in this field aims to highlight the cultural dimensions of the Kingdom through discoveries of more archaeological sites, and then rehabilitating and opening them to the public view immediately, after completing the field work, to promote heritage tourism.
