Wasit Palace is one of the most prominent historical landmarks in the Hail region, built in 1389 AH (1969 AD) by Abdulkarim Al-Subhan (may he rest in peace). The palace stands as a symbol that combines architectural grandeur with the authentic spirit of Najdi heritage. Its strategic location in the center of Hail has granted it great historical and architectural significance throughout the years.
The palace spans an area of approximately 2,000 square meters and features an ancient well that is over 300 years old, still preserved to this day as a living witness to the region’s rich history and cultural depth. Architecturally, Wasit Palace blends authenticity with simplicity — its walls were built using mud and local stone, while its doors and windows are adorned with traditional carvings that reflect the artistry of old Najdi architecture.
For decades, the palace has been a destination for visitors and researchers seeking a unique cultural experience that showcases traditional life in Hail. It also served as a venue for welcoming dignitaries and notable figures, making it an integral part of the city’s historical and social memory.
Today, Wasit Palace is a popular tourist attraction for those wishing to explore Hail’s history and heritage. It offers visitors a peaceful atmosphere that captures the essence of the past and the charm of Najdi design.
