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 />
