Talga: A Tale of Sustainable Roots for the Future

At the Asir region, located at the Southwest of Saudi Arabia, stands one of the oldest trees in the kingdom, a preferred meeting spot for the people of the village where beneath it, ideas and ambitions were discussed. The tree is called “Ficus vasta”, or as locals named it “Talga – التالقة”.

Deeply rooted in land, we are reminded that since the dawn of time, humans were always driven towards a thriving and sustainable future. Now with the existence of supporting organizations and socially responsible individuals, we believe that this work has never been more important than today.

At Talga, we are inspired to follow this path. Our goal is to thrive on a wonderful journey towards a prosperous future.
