Diriyah

Diriyah, the birthplace of the First Saudi State and one of the Kingdom’s most prominent historical and cultural destinations. Begin your journey at At-Turaif District, 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 government at the time, and take a tour of the Diriyah Museum to learn more about the Kingdom’s history.

Unmissable experiences include walking along the banks of Wadi Hanifah, and relaxing at Al Bujairi Terrace, where cafés and restaurants offer enchanting views of At-Turaif. Visitors can also enjoy sound-and-light shows and recurring cultural events such as “At-Turaif Nights.”
Diriyah is more than just a historic landmark—it is a refined cultural experience in the heart of Najd.
