Schellenberg is a historic municipality in the north of Liechtenstein and one of the smallest administrative regions in the country, situated on the gentle slopes of the Rhine Valley, close to the Swiss border. Although small, the town carries the story of Liechtenstein's origins - the ruins of the "Upper Liechtenstein" castle, which is a testament to the Liechtenstein family's acquisition of territories in the 13th century, and the remains of its medieval stone walls still attract history buffs to explore the town. The town of Schellenberg is characterized by its tranquil atmosphere. Schellenberg is known for its idyllic, rural atmosphere, where visitors can stroll along winding paths with views of the Alps and the Rhine, or explore the traditional wooden houses and family-owned breweries for a taste of Liechtenstein's slower pace of life. As an important node of Liechtenstein's "Culture Trail", traditional events such as the Medieval Market are held every year, allowing visitors to experience the richness of this miniature country in a relaxed atmosphere.
Located northwest of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, Diriyah is the historical birthplace of the Kingdom and is known as the "First Capital of Saudi Arabia". Nestled in the Hanifa Valley, it has a rich cultural heritage and a unique mud-brick complex, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.
Founded in the 15th century as the original center of power for the House of Saud, Dirieh became the capital of the first Saudi state in the 18th century and witnessed the rise of the Wahhabi sect of Islam. Its core, the Tulaif district, retains traditional Najdi architecture, including palaces, mosques and fortifications, and showcases the ancient civilization of the Arabian Peninsula.
Today, Dirieh is being transformed into a cultural tourism destination through the Dirieh Gate mega-project, combining historic sites with modern facilities to attract visitors from all over the world to explore Saudi heritage. Visitors can stroll through restored neighborhoods, experience traditional bazaars and light shows, and experience the promise of cultural heritage revitalization in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030.
