The Saud Palace is the same color as the hard desert ground it is built on, a tan color with a bit of pink, because the building was made with bricks made from the surrounding sand. The Saud Palace is square on one side and the other side is gently curved. The height of the building may be about 50 feet and the length over 100 feet, it appears to be twice as long as it is high. There is a small square door in the center of the side facing the camera. The building has rows of holes cut into the structure. The first row over the door is triangle in shape and above those is a row of larger rectangles with more triangles and small rectangles. The top of the building has a border of triangles that are painted a lighter color tan then the building. The sky in the background is light blue with gentle looking cloud shapes.
