Al-Qaryan Group executes multiple dismantling and recycling projects for Saudi Water Authority
Al-Qaryan Group, a leading Saudi closed joint-stock company specialized in industrial dismantling, demolition, and circular industries, has commenced a series of projects for the Saudi Water Authority. The projects involve the dismantling, demolition, and recycling of water production units at the Shuqaiq System (Phase I), in addition to multi-effect distillation units located in the cities of Al-Wajh, Umluj, Al-Lith, and Al-Qunfudhah. Covering a total area exceeding 423,000 square meters, the first phase of these projects includes the complete removal of all structures, equipment, and materials from the designated sites. All dismantled materials are then transported to Al-Qaryan Group's specialized processing facilities and downstream factories, where they are processed and recycled in accordance with the highest environmental standards for sorting, classification, and recycling. This ensures responsible materials recycling and promotes the principles of the circular economy. Commenting on the projects, Eng. Abdulaziz Yahya Almuayyad, CEO of Al-Qaryan Group, expressed that the Group is proud to be entrusted with the award of these projects spanning a wide geographical range — from the far north to the far south of the Kingdom along the Red Sea coast. He emphasized that this reflects the level of confidence in the Group's capabilities and its extensive experience in industrial dismantling and demolition and circular industries. Almuayyad reaffirmed Al-Qaryan's commitment to deploying its full technical and human resources to execute these projects at the highest safety and quality standards to maximize recycling rates to preserve materials, and to minimize harmful landfilling generating significant economic value through high local content, and in alignment with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative. Almuayyad further highlighted that Al-Qaryan Group, driven by its strategic purpose to contribute significantly to building a sustainable future, continues to develop and deliver advanced, integrated solutions in industrial dismantling, demolition, and recycling. The Group targets and collaborates with large-scale industrial clients across the Kingdom, with a focus on expanding the recycling industry — particularly in the metals sector — as a key driver of both economic and environmental sustainability.

Ministry of culture highlights 2024 achievements in historic Jeddah
JEDDAH: The Saudi Ministry of Culture has unveiled a series of landmark achievements in the revitalization of Historic Jeddah, illustrating continued progress under the directive of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Launched in 2021, the project plays a key role in the national strategy to preserve the Kingdom's heritage and enhance its cultural landscape, aligning with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. In 2024, the ministry successfully restored 27 historic buildings, rehabilitated an additional 10 structures, and supported the stabilization of 39 others, fortifying the district's unique architectural identity. As part of broader adaptive reuse efforts, the first three heritage hotels opened their doors, delivering luxury experiences steeped in authenticity. This is the beginning of an initiative to transform 34 heritage buildings into boutique accommodations that merge cultural heritage with modern hospitality. Important archaeological findings further enriched Jeddah's historical narrative. Excavations at the Othman bin Affan Mosque revealed Ceylonese wooden fragments on mihrab pillars dating back to the 1st century AH (7th century CE). Also, the discovery of a 13th-century pottery shard reaffirmed Jeddah's long-standing status as a pivotal maritime and commercial hub linking the Islamic world to the Far East. In a milestone of urban regeneration, the ministry completed Phase I of the Al-Arbaeen Lagoon waterfront project, which included the removal of obstructive infrastructure to reconnect the sea with the historic Al-Bunt Port. In parallel, 90,000 sq. meters of green space were developed, significantly enhancing the environmental and visual quality of the district. To enhance operational readiness, 110 pieces of equipment were used to service a six-sq. kilometer area. Historic Jeddah is also going through a surge in cultural engagement. The Red Sea International Film Festival was hosted at Culture Square for the first time, attracting local and international audiences. Simultaneously, the ministry inaugurated the teamLab Borderless Jeddah museum, spanning 10,000 sq. meters, and launched a Performing Arts and Cinema Centre, offering immersive experiences that bridge traditional heritage with contemporary expression. A significant step in skills development was marked by the opening of the Royal Institute for Traditional Arts, which promotes local craftsmanship and empowers Saudi youth to participate in cultural restoration. To integrate leisure with heritage, the ministry introduced Irth, a concept store and cafe that blends cultural offerings with a modern hospitality experience. In support of long-term sustainability, the ministry signed six strategic agreements aimed at bolstering investment and enhancing cultural infrastructure. A dedicated digital tourism platform was also launched to provide comprehensive access to landmarks, events, and visitor services in the district. In 2024, more than 140 educational trips were organized, engaging 2,100 students in immersive cultural experiences. To enrich visitor journeys, 500,000 copies of the official visitor map were distributed. These efforts contributed to a record-breaking 5.7 million visitors to Historic Jeddah over the year, including 2.5 million during Ramadan. As part of the Historic Jeddah Master Plan, the Ministry of Culture is committed to restoration, infrastructure enhancement, and improving livability. These endeavors aim to position the district as a global destination for cultural tourism and creative industries, reflecting the ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030 and celebrating the Kingdom's enduring cultural legacy.
