Qaṣr al-Badi'ah (Arabic: قصر البديعة, romanized: Qaṣr al-Badi'ah) is a royal palace in the al-Badi'ah neighbourhood in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was erected outside the old town in the 1930s at the behest of King Ibn Saud.[1] The building stands on the bank of Wadi Hanifa. It served as a guesthouse for visiting dignitaries and the king's summer residence.[2]
