Murabba Historical Palace is a one of the greatest landmark of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was the palace of the founder of Saudi Arabia King Abd-Al-Aziz Al Saud. Now it’s museum, with history of King Abd-Al-Aziz. The palace is various collections of the King. It won’t need any entry fee.
It is a place to visit weekend with family. You can have opportunity to experience local culture and traditions. When we visited there there was sone local music and light show.

A place that shall be visited. I loved the architecture which landscapes the history of Saudi Arabia. The rooms all set with historical items, the lights, the colours, an amazing journey that will take its visitors to the prestigious past. I highly recommend. I loved the garden and our tour to the museum nearby where I visited Hijra exhibition mesmerising and worth visiting.

Another interesting place to visit in Riyadh because of its history and culture. It gave me a better understanding about Saudi Arabia. No entrance fee and parking is available surrounding the palace. Include this place in your list of places to visit in the city.
Its a nice block, the palace and the museum are decent. Like an hour tour max. The place feels very green, unlike the rest of Riyadh.
Fab royal palace with amazing car collection, the rolls Royce was given to the king by winston Churchill. It’s free to visit. And there are three parts - the cars, an exhibition and the palace itself which you are free to explore. Highly recommended.
Whether a local or a tourist passing by, this IS the place no one should miss when in Riyadh. It is my 3rd visit at various occasions. The last one was during the winter season during which a selection of fancy restaurants open during Riyadh season 2022.
A walk to remember indeed.
