Diriyah Season has unveiled the Hal Al-Qusoor program in the historic At-Turaif district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010 and one of the world’s largest mud-brick settlements showcasing traditional Najdi architecture.
Beginning daily at 4:00 PM, the program opens several palaces once home to imams and princes—now accessible to the public for the first time. Moreover, through theatrical performances, storytelling, and interactive recreations of royal councils and official ceremonies, visitors can experience the administrative, social, cultural, and humanitarian life of Diriyah during the era of the First Saudi State.
At-Turaif, renowned for its authentic Najdi design, stands as an enduring symbol of leadership and governance. Its significance dates back to 1766 when Imam Abdulaziz bin Muhammad bin Saud chose the site for its strategic position along the western bank of Wadi Hanifa.
Diriyah Season 25/26 positions the area as a global destination for culture and history enthusiasts, offering immersive journeys through ancient sites that once shaped the region’s cultural identity. Through diverse experiences and innovative performances, the season highlights the enduring values of historic Diriyah while embracing the Kingdom’s ongoing growth and development.
