The London Cultural Saloon organized a periodic meeting on Saturday, focused on Saudi Arabia’s efforts in preserving cultural heritage, with Historic Jeddah selected as a case study.

This meeting is part of a series of events hosted by the London Cultural Saloon, aimed at enhancing cultural dialogue between a select group of intellectuals, opinion leaders, and experts from Saudi Arabia and Saudi students studying in Britain.

Heritage Conservation Advisor Mohammed Al-Amoudi highlighted the Kingdom’s efforts in preserving national cultural heritage, with Historic Jeddah standing out as a prominent example of Saudi heritage.
