The Saudi Heritage Commission launched the Al-Yamama Archaeological Project, which focuses on surveying, exploring, and excavating in and around Riyadh to discover its history and preserve the Kingdom's cultural heritage sites.

From 2024 to 2028, the commission will carry out various archaeological surveys and excavations in Riyadh. This includes a detailed survey of Riyadh, along Wadi Hanifah, and surrounding areas. Three excavation projects are scheduled in locations such as the Dharma governorate, Al-Hanee and Al-Masane areas, in collaboration with the commission’s partners.

Experts in Riyadh's history and antiquities, academics and students from Saudi universities and international educational institutions will collaborate in the project and excavations.

The project aims to uncover key aspects of Riyadh's growth, and explore, document, and preserve archaeological and historical sites, in line with the commission's objective to safeguard and showcase the Kingdom's enduring civilization.

The Heritage Commission utilizes cutting-edge technologies for extensive surveys, such as geographic information systems, ground-penetrating radar surveys, 3D modeling, magnetic surveying, low-altitude aerial photography, and AI for generating geographic and topographic maps.
