Al Ahsa<br />
Bayt Albaya’a<br />
King Abdullah Park<br />
If you are looking for a tranquil environment<br />
for a family day out, then King Abdulla Park,<br />
which is the biggest park in the Eastern<br />
Region of <strong>Saudi</strong> Arabia, is your best option.<br />
It has many green spaces and waterways and<br />
it is home to the biggest interactive dancing<br />
fountain in the world. The park also offers<br />
entertainment and recreation areas, and a<br />
folkloric village.<br />
The traditional Arabic architectural style is<br />
perfectly portrayed in this house, where you<br />
can wander around in its yard to discover for<br />
yourself this unique architectural heritage.<br />
Bayt Albaya’a, also known as Sheikh Abdullatif<br />
Almulla’s house, is located in the Kout district<br />
in Al Hufoof city, and it’s approximately 705<br />
squared meters in size. It was established in<br />
1203 hijri by Sheikh Abdulrahman Bin Omar<br />
Bin Mohamed Bin Omar Almulla, the judge<br />
of AlAhsa’a at the time. One of the features<br />
that distinguish this house among other<br />
historical places in the region is the precision<br />
and beauty of the details of its design. This<br />
house witnessed the throne handover to<br />
King Abdulaziz, may God bless his soul, in<br />
1203 hijri, which makes it one of the most<br />
prominent tourist attractions for its historical<br />
significance. One of the treasures of this<br />
house is King Abdulaziz’s chamber, where he<br />
stayed the night AlAhsa’a earned its freedom<br />
on the fifth of Jumady Alawal in 1331 hijri,<br />
1913 A.D. The chamber is known as “Aldar”<br />
which means that it consists of two rooms,<br />
one inside the other.<br />
