Al-Eishan Palace jewel in Jouf’s cultural crown
RIYADH: Visitors to the Jouf region can explore a host of historical landmarks and unique architectural heritage, with mud brick palaces offering immersive cultural experiences that combine traditional cuisine and local hospitality.
The highlight is Al-Eishan Palace, where guests are greeted with coffee and freshly baked Maqshush, a thin flatbread with a distinctive flavor, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Located in the heart of Sakaka, the building dates back to 1852 and is surrounded by lush palm groves. Built from mud, stone, tamarisk wood and palm fronds, it has five-meter high walls and spans more than 1,000 sq. meters. To the east, it borders orchards of peaches, pomegranates and grapes.
Parts of the palace were redeveloped in 2017-18, though the original foundations were maintained and traditional building materials were used for the renovations to ensure the building retained its character, including the majlis, inner courtyard and living quarters.
Al-Eishan Palace is open to visitors daily.
