The public realm

New lighting, walkways, planting, squares and places to rest, so that walking through the village is a pleasure by day and by evening.

Wayfinding

A single system of routes, signs and directions guides visitors to the visitor centre, the prayer room, the old market, the restrooms and the car parks.

Furniture that belongs

Planters, earth-toned street furniture and signs in Arabic script that sit with the walls instead of crowding them.

Outdoor experiences

Experiences reach beyond the walls: the farm trails, Al-Shawi, the cycling trail and the hiking trail link the village with its farms, its valleys and the edge of Tuwaiq.
