UNESCO Lists Jabal Ikmah in AlUla on Memory of the World Register
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has listed Jabal Ikmah in AlUla on its Memory of the World Register, 15 years after Al-Hijr (Mada’in Salih) archeological site in AlUla became Saudi Arabia's first World Heritage Site.
Jabal Ikmah is a prominent historical site in AlUla and features hundreds of carved inscriptions and stone carvings made by different civilizations thousands of years ago.
The listing of Jabal Ikmah on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register is a model for cooperation to develop AlUla into a global destination for cultural and natural heritage.
The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) is working with UNESCO and global partners, including ICOMOS Saudi Arabia, the Louvre Museum, and the French Agency for AlUla Development (AFALULA), to preserve heritage and promote cultural understanding.
The RCU has also established the "Kingdoms Institute" in Dadan Oasis, which studies artifacts, their contents, and advanced scientific methodologies for archaeological excavation and heritage preservation.
The commission aims to double the historical status of AlUla and share its legacy with the world through partnerships that align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
