CEO of The Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, Eng. Saleh Bin Ibrahim Al-Rasheed, said, is working on developing more than 30 new neighborhoods in Makkah. This development was carried out to display it in a modern form.
This was conveyed by Al-Rasheed at the 22nd Hajj Umrah Scientific Forum dialogue session. He added, the new environment relies on an architectural identity based on three main assets.
The assets in question are the expansion of the Grand Mosque by the Saudis, traditional architectural buildings in Makkah, as well as the nature of the valleys and mountains in Mecca. [DDHK News]
