The lack of gravity makes it impossible for seeds to be planted in one spot, and the lack of natural light and ventilation makes water droplets scatter and fly instead of it being directed at a specific direction. Nevertheless, NASA believes that space agriculture is essential for future generations

The astronauts should obtain a source that can supply them with food during the lengthy space missions of the future, which are expected to last for months or even years. Thanks to the work of agricultural experts and the contributions of students, the required experiments to address this issue were carried out. So far, laboratory experts have found 106 plant species that can thrive in space. Plants such as cabbage, lettuce and potatoes that are inherently planted to mimic outer space conditions, which were planted by multiple students from various schools. These fascinating experiences are not without challenges, however, such as the amount of water that is supplied in it and the meticulous monitoring and reporting of their growth to NASA by students using lights that simulate the quality of light in spacecraft

The crops may be neglected when the students are on a school break due to excessiveplanting, variable temperatures, and other factors. Also, these failures may be useful for study, and (Gia) an expert at NASA (if a plant is able to withstand under these circumstances, this means that it will stand in space). A number of astronauts took turns residing on the International Space Station in the Earth’s orbit , at a height of 400,000 meters from its surface, also they were faced with some failures in space agriculture, due to irrigation imbalance or lighting. In 2015, they were able to taste the first salad made using vegetables grown at their station, and although the quantity was very small, it was an indication of success in this area. Only water and a light source that is growing in its direction are required for the plant to develop; gravity is not required.

Cultivating plants and sustaining their life during space flights is one of the important things that should be taken into account, because any defect, no matter how small or large, will lead to serious consequences, and for this reason, scientists have adopted a series of important procedures such as harvesting different varieties of plants to compensate for species that are susceptible to perishing in outer space conditions and also devising ways to increase the resistance of these plants to diseases prevailing in outer space. The majority of these modern innovations and discoveries, which were the product of the human mind, were at their beginning a mere fleeting fantasy, and then soon after they were brought to life at the hands of scientists who embodied them as a living and tangible reality in human life.

Because it helps to reinforce the links between present and future generations, heritage plays a crucial role in our lives. Since it is a wealth of information about literature, culture, and customs passed down from generation to generation, it is both a window into the history of any society and a crucial component of our identity. Heritage is seen as the embodiment of cultural and historical values and demonstrates the practices and traditions that our ancestors followed, which have an impact on the present and future. This demonstrates that it has a history thanks to its wealth of legacies and diversity.

We begin with the Ardah Al-Najdi, which was established by the founder, Abdulaziz bin Saud, may God have mercy on him, during the unification of the Kingdom and is seen as a symbol of victory at the battle. Al-Bayrak is a sword that is 3 meters long, has distinct physical and psychological features, and does not belong to just any person. One family inherits Al-Bayrak, including the Al-Mutarrif and Al-Ghawenem families, who have carried it from the Ardha’s founding during the reign of King Abdul Aziz. Each occasion includes a unique poem that concludes the presentation of the many poems. In every way, it is incredible!

Now that we have moved from its heart to its southern highlands, what about the southern ardha?

The reason it was given the name “Ardah” was because of the strength and abundance it displayed. The use of weapons, such as swords in the past and rifles more recently, had a significant role in this process. The poetic character in the performance is dominated by a character of pride and pride, or it may be a satire in the opponent, and this is the understanding that the performance is trying to highlight strength and dominance, so the audience will not be entertained. Sometimes there are two poets competing in their ability to entertain the audience.

The Ardah is now observed even on joyous occasions as a cause for celebration and pride.

We can see that the Southern Ardha combines linguistic eloquence, quick wit, physical fitness, and daring as well. These are qualities that man in the south first acquired due to his environment, as the mountainous environment with harsh geographical and climatic conditions necessitated upon him these qualities that are inherent in his person and are clearly seen in the performance of the Ardha. If we compare it to the Najdi Ardah, for instance, it is evident that there are differences in the rhythm and performance. The other is distinguished by a rhythm that is relatively sluggish, even in poetic verses, so it is lengthier than that in the south, and its presentation is more elaborate. Due to Najdi’s flat and expansive desert environment, simplicity and equality predominate in performance.

We observe that the Southern Ardha blends linguistic elegance, quick humor athletic ability, and daring as well. These are traits that an individual in the southern region initially gained due to his circumstances, as the mountainous environment with harsh geographical and climatic conditions necessitated onto him these qualities that are inherent in his person and are clearly seen in the performance of the Ardha.

Fashion as a cultural legacy

The outfits depict the culture, traditions, and appearance of the wearers. The Saudi national costume is huge and diversified. Each location has its own outfit that fits the lifestyle and nature of existence. We take the locals of Najd as an example and observe that their clothing is simple and made of light textiles. To fit the nature of the hot desert heat, men typically wear white as their primary clothing. Women in Asir wear the side skirt (the left one), which is made of a variety of materials including cotton and velvet and is embroidered with silk threads, throughout the summer. Regarding the feminine hygiene items available in Saudi Arabia,

Heritage is a living entity that gives us a sense of place in our country. It is our cultural memory that enables us to first understand ourselves before learning about and accepting the other, opening up the potential of communication. Our firm foundation is extended with a clear vision and a normal thought without isolation from the other when our cultural history is correctly interpreted. There is no seclusion.

The significance of heritage as a significant economic return in tourism is not a secret to anyone. The development of tradition and culture across the board has been a priority for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Vision 2030 for Tourism serves as an illustration of this, as it focuses on making the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the main destination for tourism in the world.
