Crafts Market Revives Ancient Traditions in Jazan

Jazan has revived the spirit of its ancient markets through a vibrant, modern experience called the Crafts Market, organized by the Alrowad Youth Association in Jazan in partnership with the Cultural House and supervised by the Heritage Commission.
 Coinciding with the Year of Handicrafts 2025, the market brings together artisans and young people to showcase traditional crafts and skills, with the primary aim of empowering artisans and bolstering the local creative economy.
 Adding to the market experience, a series of specialized workshops are being held to teach traditional crafts. These sessions are led by a select group of local artisans and artists, offering a hands-on experience that combines education, enjoyment, and the revival of heritage. Crafts taught include pottery, palm frond weaving, seashell crafts, pottery painting, and Arabic calligraphy.
 Organizers view the Crafts Market as a vital cultural project that restores the value of handicrafts as part of the national identity and a source of social development, aligning with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to empower youth and revive traditional industries.
 The market is held every Friday and Saturday for six consecutive weeks at the Cultural House in Jazan.
