According to the ministry, the 100 appointed women notaries will officially start their work in the ministry as of next Sunday with a specialized training program for a period of 3 months.

AlUla, one of the Kingdom’s most breathtaking places, is getting a one of a kind resort that is designed by the exceptional French architect Jean Nouvel, and the new concept designs for the resort have been revealed today!

The designs show a deeper look at the architect’s daring vision for AlUla, the cultural oasis in north-west Arabia.

As the concepts were unveiled, architect Jean Nouvel described AlUla as “The coming together of a landscape and history; The history of past civilizations in an extraordinary landscape – the only place to create such a masterpiece.”

Nouvel emphasized the significance of preserving such a unique landscape: “AlUla is a museum. Every wadi and escarpment, every stretch of sand and rocky outline, every geological and archeological site deserves the greatest consideration. It’s vital we keep all its distinctiveness and conserve its attractiveness, which largely rests on its remote and occasionally archaic character. We have to safeguard a little mystery as well as the promise of discoveries to come.”

Nouvel made sure to blend AlUla’s landscape and ancient heritage with the modern architectural ideas. “AlUla deserves to acquire a degree of modernity,” he suggests. “Envisioning the future is a never-ending obligation that requires us to be fully alive to places in the present as well as conjuring up the past.”

“Our project should not jeopardize what humanity and time have consecrated,” emphasizes Nouvel, “Our project is celebrating the Nabateans spirit without caricaturing it. This creation genuinely becomes a cultural act.

We can’t wait to see the end result of such a magnificent project!
