The AlUla Languages Institute, affiliated with the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), launched the Reviving Ancient Languages Program.

The program aims to raise awareness of AlUla’s linguistic heritage and enable residents to explore the region’s rich history of languages and inscriptions.

The program offers several specialized courses in ancient languages historically used in AlUla, including Aramaic, Thamudic, Dadanitic, Lihyanite, Musnad-al-Janubi, and Nabataean, as well as a course on the origins of writing. Registration for the program opened Sunday via the AlUla Languages Institute website.

Through this program, RCU aims to offer learning opportunities to AlUla residents and strengthen their connection to their rich cultural heritage.
