Al-Qudaibiya Palace or Gudaibiya Palace is a palace in Gudaibiya, Manama, Bahrain.

History
For decades the palace has hosted some of the most important political and economy-related conferences in the country, having a prominent role in the foreign affairs of the country.
The landscaping of the Gudaibiya Palace grounds was carried out, between September 2007 and September 2008, by the Ministry of Works.[5]
