Ad-Diriyah

Diriyah, the cradle of the First Saudi State and one of the most prominent historical and cultural destinations in the Kingdom. Begin your journey at At-Turaif District, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where restored mud-brick palaces and streets tell the story of the state's founding. Explore Salwa Palace, the seat of power at that time, and take a tour of the Diriyah Museum to learn more about the Kingdom’s history.

One of the experiences you shouldn’t miss is walking along the banks of Wadi Hanifa, and relaxing at Al Bujairi Terrace where cafés and restaurants offer stunning views of Al-Turaif. Visitors can also enjoy sound-and-light shows and recurring cultural events such as “Al-Turaif Nights.”
Diriyah is not just a historical landmark, but an elevated cultural experience in the heart of Najd.
