Al Ma'dhar Palace

Al-Ma'dhar Palace (Arabic: قصر المعذر), also known as King Faisal Palace (Arabic: قصر الملك فيصل), is a historic palace in the al-Ma'dhar neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located within the precincts of Alfaisal University. Built in 1952 by Prince Faisal bin Abdulaziz, the palace has received several foreign dignitaries and head of states around the 1970s besides being a witness to various matters involving Saudi Arabia at bilateral and regional levels such as the al-Wadiah War of 1969 and the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. In 2024, the Saudi government approved plans to transform the palace into a museum.
