Our story
Conserving the memory of Arabia
Arajiz is a trusted heritage marketplace born from a simple conviction: an object that loses its story loses its value. We document first, then we sell.
How we began
From one undocumented coffee pot
- 2021
A majlis, a coffee pot, and a question
Our founders inherited a hand-hammered Najdi dallah with no papers, no provenance, and no way to prove its age. Every dealer told a different story. That gap — between an object's real history and what a buyer can verify — became the reason Arajiz exists.
- 2023
Documenting before selling
We spent two years working with conservators, historians and family estates across Riyadh, Hail, Al-Ahsa and Jeddah — recording oral histories, photographing maker's marks, and building a bilingual provenance format that reads as well in Arabic as it does in English.
- 2025
Arajiz opens to collectors
We launched a marketplace where every lot carries a verified seller, a documented storyline, and a QR authentication certificate that links back to its provenance timeline — so heritage changes hands with its memory intact.
Aligned with Vision 2030
Heritage as a pillar of the Kingdom's vision
Saudi Vision 2030 places culture and heritage at the centre of quality of life and economic diversification. Arajiz works across three of its pillars.
A Vibrant Society
Vision 2030 sets out to register, protect and celebrate the Kingdom's historical sites and material culture. Every Arajiz listing adds a documented record — maker, region, period, condition — to a growing bilingual archive of Arabian objects.
A Thriving Economy
Craft and antiques trade has long been informal. By giving artisans, dealers and family estates a compliant, transparent channel with verified payouts, we turn heritage into sustainable income and formal economic activity.
An Ambitious Nation
Cultural tourism and soft power depend on stories that travel. Bilingual provenance, museum-grade documentation and export-aware compliance let Saudi heritage reach global collectors and institutions with confidence.
How it helps
What changes when a piece is documented
Fights forgery and looting
Verified sellers, trade licence checks and documented chains of ownership make undocumented and illicitly sourced objects far harder to sell.
Sustains living crafts
Sadu weavers, silversmiths and woodworkers earn directly from collectors, keeping techniques alive rather than archived.
Builds a public archive
Each certificate links to a bilingual storyline and provenance timeline that outlives the transaction and remains readable for the next owner.
Help us keep heritage in circulation
Whether you collect, curate, craft or deal — every authenticated piece has a place and a story here.
