The past and present is so visible in many of the landmarks of Fahad Al-Salem Street, particularly in what remains of its old buildings that are besides the more modern buildings. From Safat Square to Derwaza Al-Jahra, the street is witnessing a great urban renaissance, which is evident in the tall towers, which were built to reflect a more cosmopolitan city that gives a more commercial character than residential. Meanwhile, the old buildings, which had witnessed economic and commercial activity for some time, are showing signs of dilapidated, and need to be repaired.
