Reviewed By Adnan-Almuslem - Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia

A must to visit in Alhassa tour, for shopping and enjoying the traditional-style design for one of the oldest markets in the region, that was built in 1822 AD-1238 AH, and was recently renovated.

Ibrahim Palace

Reviewed By Adnan-Almuslem - Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia

A must to visit in Alhassa tour, even if you miss the chance to enter it, still the scenery from outside is worth the visit. The Ibrahim palace in Al-Hofuf has stood the test of time and efforts are continuous to maintain the structure. This historical palace is an architectural masterpiece that was a Turkish military barracks in eastern Saudi Arabia and the main headquarters of the Ottoman garrison in Alhassa. King Abdulaziz al-Saud (mercy on him) entered the castle to announce the annexation of Alhassa in 1331 Hijri. The center of the palace, which was built in 963 Hijri, is the Al-Qubba mosque. The facilities, the Ottoman prison, the weapons storehouse and the Turkish baths were built around it. The Ibrahim Palace covers an area of 16,500 square meters. It combines both Islamic and military architecture as its huge building and its upper balconies give the effect of typical castles.
