Unearthing, preserving and presenting history 

JEDDAH: Archaeology has picked up tremendous pace over the past five years in the Kingdom, with the support of foreign missions and the Saudi Heritage Commission, a Saudi archaeologist told Arab News.  

“Archaeology was always around in Saudi Arabia as King Saud University has done great work in excavations and research, but what is different now I would say is the awareness that is being spread about the previous and current works,” said Riyadh-based Hassa Marwaan Al-Sudairy.
