The Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) was established in July 2017 with a mandate to preserve and celebrate historic Diriyah; the Jewel of the Kingdom. It is the home of first Saudi capital, recognized as the symbolic birthplace of the nation, and an inspiration for the generations of leaders that have led the Kingdom. Diriyah, and its UNESCO World Heritage Site At-Turaif, is known for magnificent mud-brick structures in the Najdi architectural style. It is a place where history lives and breathes and visitors can walk in the footsteps of kings and heroes through incomparable scenery.
 
DGDA, led by CEO Jerry Inzerillo, seeks to build the future of Diriyah on the foundation of its bright past, and to provide visitors to this great gathering place with an extraordinary and historical getaway in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We work to develop Diriyah’s architectural, artistic and economic dimensions and to reinforce and enhance the social and cultural values that have shaped modern Saudi Arabia.
 
In order to make Diriyah one of the world’s great gathering places, we at DGDA are committed to create a world-class cultural heritage destination for our people and for visitors looking to discover the essence of Saudi Arabia. In line with Vision 2030, we strive to foster a vibrant community that will help to create job opportunities for young Saudis who are passionate about preserving the great history of our country.
 
In line with its ambitious growth plans, DGDA incorporated the Diriyah Development Company (DevCo) in April 2021. The subsidiary entity will drive progress for the project’s core purpose forward. 
 
Honoring its rich history and architecture, DGDA will work to make Diriyah a vibrant economic destination that combines historical characteristics and cultural legacy with luxurious local and international brands.
