Makkah -Thakher Development Company, the master developer of the master plan and infrastructure of Thakher Makkah project, has announced its support of a group of Saudi artists by showcasing several of their artworks across Novotel Thakher Makkah Hotel’s hallways.
Inaugurated in November 2022, Novotel Thakher Makkah Hotel obtained the artworks’ copyrights from the artists to exhibit them in its hallways. This move reflects the Saudi Ministry of Culture’s vision to include local cultural experiences within hospitality venues.
Eng. Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al-Aboudi, CEO of Thakher Development Company, said: “We, at Thakher Development Company, are very pleased to display Saudi artists’ works as part of our continuous support for Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 objectives in the development of both the cultural and tourism sectors.”
Thakher Makkah project is located approximately 1 km away from the Great Mosque (Haram), and a few kilometers away from the holy sites of Muzdalifah, Mina, and Arafat. The project recently obtained the off-plan sales permit from the Wafi off-plan sales and rent committee in the Saudi Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs & Housing.
Spanning over an area of 320,000 sqm, the project will include about 100 land plots of various uses for hotels, as well as residential, commercial, and service-related areas. Residential and hotel apartment units will also be available in various categories for ownership. The Radisson Hotel, Park Inn by Radisson, and Novotel Hotel – the world’s largest in terms of the number of rooms – are some of Thakher Makkah’s international hotels.
