Assalamu Alaikum - Qassim’s traditional homes and farms reborn as year-round heritage spots
Assalamu Alaikum - The Qassim region is bringing its real past back to life through creative youth projects that turn old houses and farms into lively heritage spots open all year.
In Buraidah and nearby governorates, many restorations have changed old buildings into cafes, restaurants, and guest spots that keep a traditional feel. This mix of old and new boosts both the cultural value and the local economy, and fits with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 focus on growing domestic tourism and holding on to our national identity.
Experts say there’s been a clear rise in interest in restoring ancestral homes and farms, turning them into hospitality venues, small museums, and heritage sites. Young people’s growing love for national heritage has sparked efforts to revive folk arts, traditional dishes, and handicrafts, so visitors can taste and see Qassim’s true character.
These projects have brought life back to old neighborhoods, showing off mud-brick architecture and classic decorations, and creating special tourist spots that celebrate the region’s identity. By getting local residents involved in sustainable heritage work, the initiatives help community development and attract tourism investment.
Support from municipalities and official bodies has also helped keep the historic towns’ heritage character and made them more appealing for visitors. Praise be to Allah for these steps that honor our roots and welcome people to learn about Qassim’s rich history.
