Saudi Arabia reopening Unesco-listed Diriyah to the public for the first time in a decade – The National

Saudi Arabia is reopening public access to one of its most important historical sites for the first time in a decade.

Diriyah's historical centre will open to visitors next month after being closed for redevelopment for more than 10 years.

Dating back thousands of years, the Unesco World Heritage Site of At-Turaif is widely regarded as the birthplace of Saudi Arabia.
