She added that it will also work to develop that agricultural land near the palace after it was allocated to the project by the decision of the municipal council.
She mentioned that the project will be divided into two parts, northern and southern, and will be separated by a street, stressing the municipality's keenness to preserve the environment through creating a recreational park that includes a farmers' market that preserves crops and plants in the northern part.
She also stated that the project will include cultural components that increase the cultural and historical awareness of the area, such as a poetry library, an outdoor theater, workshops and kiosks for small and medium businesses, with special spaces for children.
She pointed out that the southern part of the project will include a traditional market similar to Al-Mubarakiya Market, including specialized markets, such as the gold market, the dates market and the clothing market, in addition to including the part on a large stage for celebrations.
The Red Palace project will be established in partnership with the private sector, as the project will be put up in an auction system, and registration will commence on November 26 until December 26, and results will be announced between January 5 until January 19, 2025, she noted. (end)
