Al-Murabba’ Palace is considered the most important landmark building of the historical center of King Abdulaziz. In late 1355 AH, King Abdulaziz ordered a complex of palaces to be built outside Riyadh’s old walls on Al-Murabba’ land. The complex was to be the headquarters of his family and consisted of several residential palaces, service buildings and King Abdulaziz’s Office (Al-Murabba’ Palace) within a wall fortified with towers.

In this 38-page book Professor Abdulrahman Ben Suleiman provides a historical account of how and why the Al-Murabba’ Palace was created; with his fascinating descriptions, he takes the reader on a tour of the palace to learn about its various features and provides a glimpse of the stages of the Kingdom’s historical development during the reign of King Abdulaziz.
