Shubra palace, Historical palace museum in Taif, Saudi Arabia
Shubra Palace features Roman and Islamic architectural elements across its four floors, containing 150 rooms with limestone columns on all four identical facades.
The palace was constructed between 1904 and 1906 by Sharif Ali Abdullah bin Muhammad, later serving as a residence for King Abdulaziz and Prince Faisal.
The regional museum displays ancient manuscripts, weapons, traditional crafts, and exhibits dedicated to the extraction process of Taif rose water.
The museum opens daily except Sundays in two shifts, from 9 AM to noon and 5 PM to 8 PM, with entry fees of 20 SAR for adults.
The main hall contains a double wooden staircase called Salamlek leading to the second floor, adorned with historical photographs documenting Saudi Arabian heritage.
