The historical location has become a must-visit destination for locals and tourists. Now, visiting has become a whole lot easier, thanks to Diriyah Summer Access 2023.

Starting this week until Thursday, 31 August, visitors can enjoy free entry to Diriyah. The Diriyah Summer Access 2023 pass includes access to the historical sight, At-Turaif, and the luxurious fine-dining destination, Bujairi Terrace. So, no tickets will be required during this period.

At-Turaif, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers you an opportunity to explore the meticulously restored ruins of Salwa Palace, which served as the original residence of the Al-Saud royal family. A bridge from At-Turaif then leads you to the charming Bujairi Terrace, where a diverse array of 20 local and international restaurants await.

What sets Bujairi Terrace apart from other high-end dining destinations is its perfect balance of Saudi cuisine and top-notch international brands, from Chez Bruno to Hakkasan. All you need to do is make sure that you have a reservation at one of these coveted restaurants.
