Prince Sultan bin Salman on architectural heritage

Amman, November 3, SPA -- Prince Sultan bin Salman, Secretary General
of the General Authority for Tourism and Antiquities of the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, said here today that the issue of preservation of
architectural heritage is a national issue that concerns several
governmental bodies and not only the Tourism and Antiquities
Authority.

In a press statement, he said the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques
and his Crown Prince are at the forefront of supporters of this
issue, adding that a dividing line between development and urban
development on one hand and heritage preservation on the other is no
longer existing.

He cited Jeddah downtown development project as an example of Saudi
Arabia's development and preservation of architectural heritage.
