Shaqra

Shaqra Governorate is home to 0.5% of the Riyadh Region's population, estimated at 46,403 people according to the 2022 Saudi Census. It spans an area of 4,110 km².
Shaqra is known for its historical urban identity, especially in its heritage city center, which includes palaces, walls, mosques, wells, and historic dams — such as Al-Subai’i Palace, where King Abdulaziz Al Saud once resided, Al-Husseini Mosque, Al-Jumaiah House, Al-Humaidhiyah Well, and Wadi Al-Rimah Dam.
The governorate has revitalized its tourism environment by restoring its historic urban fabric in the heritage center, bringing back the charm of cultural tourism through the renewal of its historic belt of palaces, homes, wells, walls, and dams.
