After seeing the historical artifacts of the faith, you enter the next major section: the Saudi folk culture exhibition. Here, you get a direct look at the different customs from across Saudi Arabia. The traditional Saudi wedding dresses in the gallery are very eye-catching, and the white gowns are incredibly delicate.
The most interesting part of the Saudi folk culture exhibition is the recreation of traditional houses in different styles from across the country. Because of the different climates, traditional houses in various parts of Saudi Arabia each have their own unique features.
Unlike the desert oases most people imagine, the scenery in Al Bahah Province in southwestern Saudi Arabia is very beautiful, and it is known as the Garden of Hejaz.

Traditional houses in the Baha region are built from wood and clay, and they are painted in very bright colors.
