Tabuk, November 20, 2023, The Heritage Commission, as part of its commitment to preserving cultural traditions, has been establishing artisan houses across the Kingdom. These houses play a crucial role in enhancing the abilities of Saudi artisans, fostering the continuity of craftsmanship, and preserving cultural heritage.
One notable example is the House of Artisans in Tabuk, a region renowned for its generations-old production of traditional handicrafts. In this house, craftsmen and craftswomen engage in training, peer-to-peer learning, and educational workshops to develop and refine their skills.
