Riyadh Parks & Gardens

Riyadh is a city that ascended from the flaming sands of the Arabian Peninsula. Riyadh is one of the richest oil-producing cities in the world today. Date palms, historic ruins, and patriarchal tradition are still as much an ingredient of its culture as are its oil wells. Riyadh Tourist Attractions include Al Douh Park that has lime lawns, enormous trees, bright water fountains and gaming areas for kids. Stroll all the way through the park, take the weight off your feet under the trees or under the umbrellas provided, watch the kids engage in recreation or have a glance at the fountains. There is also a prayer place in the park that would make your picnic complete. Entry fees for adults are SR 2, for children it is SR1 and for kids below the age of three it is free.

Al Fouta Park was opened approximately four or five decades before. This park is thought to be the oldest in Riyadh. It is extended over 40,000 square meters and is titivated by the company of shady trees, multicolored flowers and long Boulevards. You could either take a leisurely walk or watch kids play in the kids' gaming area or discover the different kinds of trees, plants, herbs and flowers that nurture here. Unwind and take pleasure in a cup of hot coffee at the café. Entrance is free.
