The Ibrahim Palace is one of the most significant historical landmarks in Al-Ahsa and a prominent heritage site in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Located north of Al-Koot District in the city of Hofuf, the palace once served as the main garrison for the Ottoman Empire in Al-Ahsa, which was then under the administration of Basra.
The Qasr Ibrahim (Ibrahim Palace) is renowned for its unique architectural style that combines Islamic and military design. It features a large mosque with a famous dome, thick defensive walls, and circular towers that once protected the complex. Its structure reflects a brilliant blend of beauty, strength, and historic purpose.
A major turning point in the palace’s history occurred on the night of 5th Jumada Al-Awwal 1331 AH (April 13, 1913 CE), when King Abdulaziz Al Saud took control of the site during the unification of Al-Ahsa into the modern Saudi state. Today, the Qasr Ibrahim (Ibrahim Palace) stands as a living monument to that pivotal era in the Kingdom’s history.
