The palace features a curved 800-meter-long wall enclosing gardens and five projecting tensile structures that create shaded areas within the complex.
Following an international design competition in 1981, OHO Joint Venture architects completed the construction of Tuwaiq Palace in 1985.
The palace functions as a venue for state receptions, government functions, and cultural festivals that present Saudi traditions to international visitors.
