Rowad Delivers Restoration of Jeddah’s Red Sea Museum Landmark in cooperation with First Gulf Company

As a recognized leader in heritage restoration across the region, with a long-standing track record in complex restoration and structural strengthening, ROWAD was selected by the Saudi Ministry of Culture as the specialized restoration contractor. In cooperation with First Gulf Company, ROWAD delivered a comprehensive restoration and rehabilitation program that preserved the authenticity of this early-20th-century heritage landmark while upgrading it to modern museum standards. The scope included specialized restoration and structural strengthening work for the museum building and the iconic canopy, as well as complete internal and external architectural finishing work under an integrated coordination model across architectural, structural, and civil engineering disciplines. 

As part of the overall program, Rowad also constructed and delivered the Annex Building, aligned with the museum’s functional, operational, and architectural standards, supported by a controlled, multi-interface execution strategy to safeguard design intent and ensure cohesive asset-wide delivery. 

Located on the historic waterfront, the Red Sea Museum stands today as a landmark destination celebrating the Red Sea’s maritime legacy and coastal heritage. The transformed museum will showcase the history of the Red Sea, rare maritime and cultural artifacts, and the stories of trade, pilgrimage, and coastal life that connected civilizations for centuries, positioning it as a major cultural destination within Saudi Arabia’s growing cultural tourism landscape. 

ROWAD confirmed that delivery was enabled through a highly collaborative partnership framework with stakeholders, supported by early technical alignment and shared commitment to quality and heritage preservation. 

The opening of the Red Sea Museum supports Saudi Vision 2030 by enriching the Kingdom’s cultural landscape, supporting tourism, and enhancing quality of life through meaningful heritage destinations.
