RIYADH: A display of vintage and classic automobiles, some made more than 60 years ago, was a major draw for visitors at the Handicrafts Festival in Hail.

Visitors and car enthusiasts from the Kingdom and abroad gathered to admire the eye-catching vehicles, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The meticulously maintained cars, including several GMC and Chevrolet models, are their owners鈥� prized possessions, and offer a glimpse into the past.

Naif Amim Al-Janfawi, a collector of vintage cars, said: 鈥淭he festival provided a wonderful opportunity to showcase these treasures.鈥�

The festival also immersed visitors in the rich heritage of the Hail region, showcasing traditional food, clothing, and customs, while also featuring a variety of cultural performances and folk arts from within and beyond the area.

A pavilion housing wooden doors and gypsum carvings proved to be a popular attraction that showcased the craftsmanship involved in creating the traditional works.

Inspired by Saudi Vision 2030 and the designation of 2025 as the 鈥淵ear of Handicrafts,鈥� the festival celebrated traditional skills, and highlighted their cultural and economic significance.

Craftsman Abdullah Al-Khazam said that creating wooden doors and carvings, including those of old Hail houses made from tamarisk and other timbers, demanded exceptional skill and attention to detail.

The pavilion also featured Islamic plaster engravings inspired by the local environment, a hallmark of Najdi architecture used to adorn buildings, entrances, and majlis, or council rooms.

Also on display were drawings and engravings from ancient clay houses, including Qur鈥檃nic verses, sayings, decorative patterns, and depictions of trees and plants.
