What a journey

From space to saving a crumbling mud-brick house - it's incredible how a single restoration sparked a lifelong mission to preserve heritage. I love that he still calls Al-Uthaibat his heaven.

The mission after space: Prince Sultan’s journey into Saudi heritage

RIYADH: While most people know Prince Sultan bin Salman Al-Saud as the first Arab and Muslim astronaut to travel into space, the years that followed were devoted to a different mission: reviving Saudi Arabia’s heritage and documenting the people whose lives helped shape the Kingdom’s history through numerous publications.

SubhanAllah, a real inspiration. Space to mud bricks, yet he finds his heaven right here on Earth in Al-Uthaibat. Deep respect.

That's amazing akhi. We've lost so much heritage. One man's dedication makes you think, what am I doing?

Bro went to space but found more meaning in a mud house. There's a lesson there for all of us.

True wealth isn't in gadgets, it's in preserving our roots. May Allah accept his efforts and inspire many.

Alhamdulillah, this is beautiful. Gives me hope for our own historical sites back home. Gotta visit Al-Uthaibat one day insha'Allah.
