The General Authority for Real Estate in Saudi Arabia announced that the deadline for completing the property registration (real estate registration) for a total of 47,257 properties across the Riyadh, Eastern, and Qassim regions is approaching, with the deadline being the end of Thursday, February 12, 2026. This step is part of the Authority's ongoing efforts to regulate the real estate sector and protect the rights of property owners.

The importance of the real estate registry and the objectives of Vision 2030

The Real Estate Registration Project is a cornerstone of the real estate sector strategy stemming from the Kingdom's Vision 2030. This ambitious national project aims to automate real estate procedures and transition from traditional paper deeds to electronic deeds backed by accurate geospatial data. This transformation will enhance transparency in the real estate market, improve transaction efficiency, and reduce real estate disputes, thereby creating an attractive environment for local and foreign investment and supporting sustainable urban development.

In Al-Zulfi Governorate parts of the following neighborhoods: Al-Noor, Granada, Arairah, Al-Sayh, Al-Qadisiyah, Al-Hamra, Al-Manar, Samnan, Al-Rawdah, Al-Khalidiyah, Al-Sina'iyah, Al-Rabwah, Al-Rayyan, Al-Nada, and Al-Nafl.

Advantages of registering via the Real Estate Registry platform

The authority urged property owners to take advantage of the remaining deadline and register through the Real Estate Registry platform . Registration grants the owner a unified property number and a title deed containing all detailed information regarding the property's location, boundaries, and associated rights and obligations. The National Company for Real Estate Registration Services (Real Estate Registry) is responsible for implementing these processes using the latest technologies and geospatial data to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information.

Penalties for failure to register

The General Authority for Real Estate emphasized that failure to register within the specified period may subject property owners to the financial penalties stipulated in the Real Estate Registration Law. However, the Authority confirmed that it will continue to accept registration applications even after the deadline for rectifying any issues, in order to protect everyone's rights and complete the national real estate database.

His Royal Highness Prince William, the Prince of Wales and Crown Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, arrived today in Al-Ula Governorate, the world-class tourist and heritage destination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in a visit that underscores the strong ties between the two friendly countries.

Upon his arrival at Al-Ula International Airport, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Madinah Region, was at the forefront of those welcoming him.

Al-Ula: A global destination with a rich history

The visit of the British Crown Prince to Al-Ula Governorate is of particular importance, given the historical and cultural significance of the region. Al-Ula is home to ancient civilizations dating back thousands of years and is also home to the archaeological site of Hegra, the first site in Saudi Arabia to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This visit comes at a time when Al-Ula is undergoing a radical transformation to become the world's largest living museum, in line with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, spearheaded by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Strengthening Saudi-British relations

This visit comes within the context of the long-standing historical and strategic relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. The reciprocal visits between the leaders of both countries reflect a shared commitment to strengthening cooperation across various fields, including cultural and tourism sectors. A visit by a figure of Prince William's stature to Al-Ula is seen as a powerful message underscoring the growing global appeal of Saudi tourist destinations and their role in fostering cultural exchange between peoples.

Dimensions of the visit and its impact

This visit is expected to further highlight the unique natural and environmental assets of AlUla Governorate on a global scale. Prince William is known for his strong interest in environmental issues and nature conservation, which aligns with the Royal Commission for AlUla's efforts to preserve the region's natural and cultural heritage and develop it according to global sustainability standards. The presence of the Prince of Wales at this historic site reinforces the Kingdom's position as a leading tourist destination on the global tourism map.
