Shubra Palace
قصر شبرا
A Hejazi-style palace completed in 1905, admired for its wooden lattice windows and marble decoration. It was once a royal summer residence and now houses the Taif Regional Museum.
Shubra Palace was built by the Sharifian family of Mecca during the Ottoman era. Its four stories blend traditional Hejazi wooden lattice screens (rawashin) with marble decoration in Turkish and Italian styles. King Abdulaziz and King Faisal once spent their summers here and conducted official business. The palace now houses the Taif Regional Museum, which displays archaeological artifacts, traditional costumes and folk objects. Opening hours and admission often change due to renovations, so check the Saudi Heritage Commission or Visit Saudi before your trip. Located in the city center, it can be visited together with Abbas Mosque.
