Ahmed's journey into the world of traditional architecture was one of discovery and achievement that changed the course of his life. It all began at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, where he majored in architecture. Ahmed had long been fascinated by architectural theories, but what truly captivated his heart was the grandeur he found in traditional architecture. In these ancient arts, he discovered a treasure trove of genius, where architectural designs harmonized brilliantly with the environment and fit seamlessly with social and cultural life in every respect.

This passion led him to a decisive choice after graduation: he directly joined the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts (Wirth), specifically the traditional earth building program, to begin an exciting new chapter of his life. His start in the program was full of challenges and deep knowledge. In the first level, he worked on building a model that reflected a precise understanding of how our ancestors handled nature and its resources. He began to feel with his own hands what he had only seen with his eyes, learning how his forefathers cleverly used clay, stone, and local plants to build homes that maintained both comfort and beauty.

When he finished work on the model, a sense of pride washed over him for being part of such a unique achievement. It was a special moment, especially when he realized he had contributed to building an earth structure in our current era, where architectural styles have changed so much. His participation in "Wrth Camp" was one of his most prominent milestones. It was an unforgettable month during which he gained leadership skills, becoming responsible for a group of more than 50 people, organizing their work, and training them to construct the molds for a mosque facade made from palm frond ribs, a task that blended collaboration and creativity.
