What Is the Difference Between Immovable and Movable Antiquities in Saudi Arabia?

Immovable antiquities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are antiquities connected to the land, such as natural or excavated caves used by humans; rocks on which pictures or written inscriptions were drawn or carved; ruins of cities and villages; structures visible above ground or buried beneath it; old trade and pilgrimage routes; traditional cities, villages and neighborhoods; buildings constructed for various purposes; and the architectural elements associated with them.

Movable antiquities are artefacts that were originally made to be, by their nature, separate from the ground or from immovable antiquities, and whose location can be changed, such as sculptures, coins, writings, jewelry, adornment tools, and heritage items.
