About this experience
At-Turaif was the seat of the first Saudi state and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a whole district of Najdi mud-brick palaces above Wadi Hanifah, restored over the last decade. The guided route takes in Salwa Palace, the Imam Mohammed bin Saud mosque and the defensive walls, and explains how Najdi architecture works: why the walls taper, what the triangular roof vents do, and how mud brick keeps a room cool in a Riyadh summer. Ends in the palm gardens below the district. Two hours, mostly shaded, and the main route is step-free.
