Beautiful palace dating from 1942 that that you must visit before the present art exhibition closes on the 20th April. The volunteers are very knowledgable and helpful. Thank you for the exhibition
Very interesting building and the current exhibition is great! Very well done and very good guides.
Very good, but could do with restoration and shown as a palace rather than an art venue.
A beautiful old palace.
THE RED PALACE️ Definitely a great experience Sultan bin Fahad did a good job with the artworks, spectacular
The first concrete building in Saudi Arabia, built in 1944 as King Saud palace, later on it was used as government building until the gulf war in 1991 where it was used as military command center. Nowadays the government is going to re-open the palace either as hotel or heritage site (museum).
Red palace. It is the palace of the ancient king, king Saud. We can go to the visiting part. Main thing, there are volunteers who knows both English and Arabic language, who tells us about the place, what had happen at the ancient times, if you have doubts, they would clear it. There are many ancient things which was used by the king. There are the meeting hall, dining rooms, and many more. But all are of olden times. These rooms have been used by the kings and other companions. The place is having a fantastic atmosphere inside. There are many things of the olden times used by the king. The plates made with real gold material and many more. I am not saying anything cause I will break the excitement if I say all the features. So you have to go there and visit it. From this month, means MARCH 13 TO APRIL 20, you will have free entry. After that you should have to pay.
