Hofuf

The city extends across a fertile oasis with numerous palm groves, traditional markets, and limestone hills rising from the desert landscape.

The Ibrahim Palace, constructed in the 16th century, stands as a military fortress with thick walls, watchtowers, and Islamic architectural elements.

Local craftsmen maintain centuries-old traditions in the Al-Qaisariya Souq, producing brass coffee pots, textiles, and processing dates from surrounding palm farms.

Visitors reach Hofuf through Al-Ahsa International Airport or by train from Dammam, with most sites concentrated in the central district.

The natural caves of Jabal Al-Qarah feature temperature-regulating corridors that maintain 25°C throughout the year regardless of external conditions.
