Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's SR50 Million Initiative to Preserve Historic Jeddah Buildings
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman personally funded a Ministry of Culture project to save several historic buildings in Jeddah from collapsing.
The SR50 million ($13.3 million) project is part of the Historic Jeddah restoration program, which aims to preserve over 600 historically significant structures, including mosques, marketplaces, ancient squares, and the Waterfront, which were crucial stopping-off points for Muslim pilgrims.

Five local companies, under the supervision of experienced technicians, carried out the work, ensuring the unique design and urban characteristics were maintained.
Some buildings, belonging to Jeddah families, have archaeological features dating back 500 years.
