AL-NAMAS, Saudi Arabia: The Prince Mohammed bin Salman Project for the Development of Historical Mosques has successfully completed the restoration of a 1,200 year old Sadreed Mosque in Al-Namas, located in the Aseer Region.
The mosque dates back to 170 AH (786 AD), was built in the era of Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
Covering an area of 138 square meters, it stands as one of the oldest religious sites in the region. Restoration work focused on maintaining its authentic Aseer architectural character, characterised by walls built from stone and mud and a roof constructed using local juniper tree trunks.
Historically, the Sadreed Mosque served as the only Friday prayer mosque in the surrounding area. With its renewal, it will continue to function as both a place of worship and a cultural landmark for the community.
The restoration effort employed specialised Saudi engineers and applied sustainable practices in line with heritage conservation standards.
The project supports the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to preserve the Kingdom’s cultural heritage while adapting historical sites to serve contemporary worshippers.
