Al-Rajhi Maqsurah is one of the most remarkable heritage landmarks in Al-Qassim Region, located in Al-Bukayriyah amidst lush palm farms in the southeastern part of the city. Dating back over 250 years, it was built by Sheikh Nasser Al-Rajhi as a fortified guesthouse and a rest stop for travelers, symbolizing the spirit of traditional Najdi hospitality.
The complex consists of several mud-brick houses built in classic Najdi architectural style, featuring thick walls made of clay and ceilings supported by palm trunks and tamarisk wood. Historically, it served multiple purposes — from hosting guests to providing shelter for travelers — and even includes an ancient mosque that remains one of the oldest in the region.
Recently restored to preserve its authenticity, the maqsurah retains its traditional design and cultural essence, offering visitors a glimpse into Saudi Arabia’s rural heritage. Today, it stands as a captivating destination for those interested in architecture, history, and culture, providing a living example of the Kingdom’s enduring craftsmanship.
