Breathe in history at Al Shinanah Tower

Located just a one-hour drive from Buraidah, Al Shinanah Tower is a historical landmark of much importance. The tower has been standing for centuries, surviving countless battles. What makes Al Shinanah so very unique is its slender design – with a conical shape and eight floors, the tower is a wonderful combination of exceptionality and traditional Qassim architecture.

Shop at Buraidah's Date Market

Visiting Buraidah between August and September has its perks – namely, you get to visit the largest date market in the whole world. Buraidah is known as the "date city", and no wonder. There are millions of date palm trees in Al Qassim, and every year, a large number of farmers congregate in the middle of Buraidah to sell their fresh produce. If you're ever craving high-quality dates… you know where to go.

Tips for Visiting Buraidah

  • If you're a history enthusiast, don't hesitate to explore the traditional villages of Mithnab and Al-Khabra. For a fun shopping experience, head to Al Nakheel Plaza, one of the best shopping malls in the area. And let's not forget that book lovers can enjoy a quiet and educational afternoon at King Saud Public Library.

  • As for restaurants, consider visiting Seeneez (Arabic), Applebee's Restaurant (American), Piatto (Italian), Pickles and Falafel‎ (Lebanese), or Top View Restaurant (International).
