Al-Subaie Palace, Archaeological palace site in Shaqra governorate, Saudi Arabia.

The Al-Subaie Palace exhibits a rectangular layout across two floors constructed with adobe clay, featuring numerous rooms and traditional stone columns.

Built in 1939, the palace was a residence for the Subaie family and served as a rest stop for King Abdul Aziz during his travels between Riyadh and Hejaz.

Traditional craftsmanship appears throughout the palace, with doors decorated using natural pigments including red colors extracted from pomegranate fruit.

The palace functions as a museum with guided tours, offering visitors direct access to artifacts and educational materials about Saudi Arabian heritage.

The structure's wooden beam roof incorporates layers of palm fronds, mud, and plaster, demonstrating regional architectural techniques from the early 20th century.
