Masterplan

A visionary blueprint guiding Diriyah’s transformation into a global hub for heritage, culture and innovation.

Overview

Diriyah Company's masterplan sets the strategic direction for the city’s redevelopment, harmonizing historical preservation with modern urban design. It provides a cohesive framework for all residential, hospitality, retail, cultural and mixed-use developments across Diriyah. Central to the masterplan is the preservation of At-Turaif, a UNESCO World Heritage site, while enabling high-quality, sustainable urban growth. By integrating iconic landmarks, public spaces, infrastructure and innovative design principles, the masterplan fosters a unique environment where heritage and modernity coexist seamlessly.

Strategic Impact

The masterplan establishes Diriyah as a world-class destination for culture, tourism, business and living. Spanning 14 km², it guides developments that support economic diversification, tourism growth and enhanced quality of life. By structuring residential neighborhoods, hospitality precincts, commercial hubs and cultural districts, the masterplan ensures a balanced, pedestrian-friendly and sustainable urban ecosystem. It also facilitates large-scale projects such as Diriyah Square, Jabal AlQurain Avenue and the Royal Diriyah Opera House, positioning the city as a central pillar of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
