Rijal Alma’ governorate is a rich heritage and historical site in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This charming mountain village has roots dating back 900 years, making it one of the oldest villages in the region. What distinguishes Rijal Alma’ is its unique architectural design, which is very similar to the historic cities of Yemen like Sana’a and Shibam. The multi-story stone buildings, the colorful geometric decorations on the walls, and the courtyards filled with decorated wooden chairs and woven mats all give this village an authentic atmosphere.
