Seif Palace, Government palace in Kuwait City, Kuwait
The royal residence features traditional Islamic architecture with distinctive blue tiles and a gold-plated watchtower roof reaching toward the sky.
The palace construction began in 1904 during Sheikh Mubarak Al-Sabah's reign, reflecting Kuwait's increasing political and commercial importance at that time.
Within its walls, the palace hosts national ceremonies, governmental meetings, and serves as the primary headquarters for Kuwait's current leadership.
Visitors must obtain prior permission and follow a strict dress code to enter the palace grounds, which are located near the Grand Mosque.
The palace integrates local building materials including clay, limestone, and sea rocks with imported yellow tiles from northern Basra region.
