Curved along the outskirts of Riyadh, and formed on the oasis that spilled from the banks of Wadi Hanifa, Ad Diriyah’s mud-brick walls once housed a thriving desert city that was a powerhouse of culture and commerce.
Its Al Turaif district, the area’s citadel-marked primary quarter, was the original seat of power for the Kingdom’s Al Saud family. In 1745, the city was named the country’s capital, laying the foundations for what would later become a unified Saudi Arabia. The ruins of Al Turaif were designated a UNESCO Heritage Site in 2010 and the area has since been the subject of a painstaking restoration plan aimed at bringing its historical legacy back to life.
The Ad Diriyah’s Al Bujairy district is home to religious scholar Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab, its maze of twisting streets lead to low-lying mud huts that have been transformed into sparkling heritage sites.

Gepland om smiddags naar de dessert te gaan hadden we in de ochtend een stadstour door Riyadh gepland om 8:00u. Daags er voor begin de guide al te whatsapp dat hij ons om 14:00u wilde ophalen. Alles gedaan om dit te veranderen maar geen enkele bereidheid om dit van te voren op te lossen. Bewuste morgen was er uiteraard geen guide met bus dus we hebben onze eigen stadstour gemaakt met taxi busje naar oud Riyadh riyadin. Vervolgens konden we natuurlijk niet meer annuleren >24u van te voren en dus wordt volledige bedrag ingehouden. Zowel via TRIPADVISOR als via Viatour waar dit weer was ondergebracht claim ingediend maar kastje muur verhaal…This was the best city tour I have ever been on. I got to explore place I would never of Imagined of as a child
