Dr. Noorah Alkadi, Founder of Hislo, shares her vision: “Our partnership with Saudi ICOMOS, represented by HRH Princess Dr. Nouf Bint Mohammed Bin Fahad Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, is a testament to our dedication to heritage conservation. This collaboration will empower us to feature a curated selection of heritage sites, each with its own story, directly within the Hislo app. It is more than a technological innovation it’s a cultural mission to bring the past into the present and future.”
This storied partnership promises to enrich Hislo’s tapestry with authentic narratives and cultural stories, allowing users to witness history and partake in its documentation and celebration. This partnership is a step forward in fulfilling the vision of making history tangible for future generations.
