This takes place as part of Hal Al-Qusoor Program, one of the flagship programs of Diriyah Season 25/26, as visitors gather to explore this historic landmark that embodies a rich era of cultural and social values.

Prince Turki bin Saud bin Abdulaziz was born in At-Turaif District of historic Diriyah in the late 18th century AD. He was raised in an environment renowned for courage, horsemanship, and leadership, influenced by his father, Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz, commander of the armies and the third Imam of the First Saudi State.

The palace is located in the southern part of At-Turaif District and was built in the early 19th century AD in the traditional Najdi architectural style. Its construction utilized mud bricks, stone, and Tamarisk wood, with a design consisting of two floors arranged around a central courtyard. The palace is distinguished by its wide gates and multiple exits, reflecting the architecture of the past and the realities of life during that period.

Here, visitors can sense the atmosphere of discussions and strategic decisions that contributed to the resilience of Diriyah. The heritage setting of Prince Turki bin Saud Palace transports visitors to the heart of historic life, where interactive experiences, supported by sound and lighting technologies, bring heroic epics to life. The palace offers a unique glimpse into daily life of that era, from private chambers and formal meeting halls to architectural details infused with stories of bravery and steadfastness.

Diriyah Season 25/26 contributes to achieving the vision of Diriyah Gate Development Authority by strengthening Diriyah’s position as the cradle of the Saudi State and a permanent platform for cultural engagement. The season includes programs that reflect authentic Saudi values through a contemporary approach, in alignment with the cultural and tourism objectives that form pillars of sustainable development under Saudi Vision 2030.
