Saudi Town Pays Tribute to Centuries-Old Saltworks Tradition

SHARE

Deep in the midst of Saudi Arabia, the town of Qasab still keeps its centuries-old salt extraction tradition, a trade which has been feeding generations. Also referred to as the “White Gold” of the region, salt extraction has been the primary occupation of Qasab residents for decades, dominating their economy as well as their culture.

The method, which is evaporating water from natural salt pans, has not changed much with the advent of modern times. Techniques for harvesting, processing, and selling salt have been handed down through generations by families, and thus this ancient business continues to flourish even now.

Qasab’s salt is famous for its mineral content and purity, so it is extremely popular throughout Saudi Arabia and around the world. With increasing worldwide interest in sustainable and traditional salt making, Qasab’s saltworks are being increasingly recognized for their historical and cultural importance.

This commemoration celebrates the town’s devotion to maintaining its heritage, with citizens wishing that Qasab’s salt business would thrive for generations.
