The Saudi Heritage Commission has proudly announced the registration of 1,516 new archaeological sites in its National Antiquities Register.

This substantial addition raises the total number of documented sites to an impressive 11,577, showcasing the nation's rich and diverse historical legacy.

The newly registered sites are scattered across several regions, underlining Saudi Arabia's geographical and cultural richness.

The Riyadh region leads with 1,174 new sites added, followed by Al-Baha with 184 sites.

Additionally, Tabuk sees an inclusion of 85 sites; Northern Borders contribute with 70 more; and Jeddah registers three significant finds.

This initiative is part of the commission’s broader commitment to thoroughly document and preserve archaeological treasures throughout Saudi Arabia.

By enhancing its archaeological database, the commission aims to sustain these invaluable resources for future generations while reinforcing national identity and celebrating cultural heritage.

In a move to involve citizens actively in this important endeavor, the commission encourages both residents and locals to report any unregistered archaeological finds. Reporting can be facilitated through the Archaeological Site Reporting service or via official social media channels and local branches of the commission. Such measures promote community engagement in safeguarding and advancing national heritage.
