Taif's historic palaces boost summer resort appeal
The Taif Governorate hosts many historic palaces that have become prominent elements of tourism and cultural attraction in the city. They embody an architectural heritage that reflects the city's deep-rooted history and enduring legacy over the centuries. Among these palaces, Shubra Palace stands out as the most notable; it was built by Sharif Ali bin Abdulmajeen at the beginning of the twentieth century. King Abdulaziz used it as a summer residence and administrative headquarters before it was transformed into a museum welcoming visitors. Additionally, there are other landmarks such as Al-Suqaf Palace, Al-Katib Palace, and numerous heritage houses. Restoration and revitalization efforts have enhanced Taif’s status as a cultural and tourist destination, in line with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to develop and economically support national heritage.
