As you walk through its winding alleyways and maze-like paths, you'll find yourself transported to the golden days of the first Saudi state. The district's traditional mud-brick buildings, historic mosques, and royal palaces offer a rare glimpse into life centuries ago.

Your guide will share captivating stories and historical insights throughout your exploration. A major highlight of the visit is Salwa Palace, one of the most prominent buildings in Al Turaif and the former royal residence dating back to the 18th century. With its grand halls, defensive towers, and intricate architecture, the palace reflects the power and prestige of the era in which it was built.

After an enriching morning of discovery, enjoy a traditional Saudi lunch at a local restaurant where you can savour the authentic flavours of Arabian cuisine. Whether it's fragrant rice dishes, slow-cooked lamb, or warm flatbread, your meal will be a delicious tribute to the region’s culinary heritage.
