The Culinary Arts Commission announced on Monday the launch of "Irth," a new store and cafe concept celebrating and supporting Saudi Arabia's culinary heritage.

With locations in Madinah, Jeddah, and Riyadh, "Irth", meaning "heritage" in Arabic, aims to provide a platform for local chefs and producers to showcase their talents and products.

The initiative seeks to support and promote local chefs by featuring unique Saudi dishes and offering a space for local producers to showcase and sell their products to a broader audience.

The first "Irth" stores are set to open in Madinah and Jeddah in mid-September, with the Riyadh branch scheduled to follow in October, according to the commission.

The commission hopes to encourage culinary innovations and elevate the profile of Saudi cuisine both locally and globally through this project. "Irth" is envisioned as a hub for local culinary talent, allowing Saudi chefs to present creative interpretations of traditional dishes and fostering collaboration and innovation among local producers and food industry specialists.

The Royal Commission for AlUla has signed a cooperation agreement with Jordan’s Petra National Trust to enhance the sustainable protection of ancient monuments and encourage community participation in preserving landmarks of historical significance.
The agreement, signed in the Hegra area of AlUla, is part of a shared effort by both sides to care for and preserve their common human heritage. AlUla and Petra are both centers of the Nabatean civilization, which flourished in these areas.
The agreement includes the exchange of knowledge, skills, visits, and tours, as well as promoting education and community engagement in history, human heritage, and heritage preservation. It also explores new opportunities related to future strategies.
Both AlUla and Petra reflect the cultural creativity and architectural mastery of the ancient Nabateans. The Darb al-Bakrah route, which connects Hegra to Petra, reveals numerous inscriptions in languages such as Arabic and Nabatean, highlighting its significance and vital role in the area.
The agreement supports the Ruwat program, launched by the Royal Commission for AlUla, which offers cooperative training for citizens of AlUla.
Under the agreement, the Petra National Trust joins the commission's international partner network, which includes organizations such as UNESCO, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). These organizations contribute to preserving cultural and natural heritage.
This agreement further enhances partnerships with various Jordanian sectors, such as Royal Jordanian Airlines, which operates flights to AlUla, and Khammash Architects, part of the design and construction team developing the Sidrat AlUla project.
