Riyadh (means garden in Arabic)
Riyadh is one of the most beautiful
cities in the Middle East. The location of Riyadh is in the middle
of Saudi Arabia "Desert and Oases".
This is the heartland of the country,
and in Arabic is known as Najd. It is also the most traditional and, in
general, the most religiously conservative region of the country.
Riyadh city is very modernized and very big. It is very hot in the summer
and very cold in the winter. |
|  | Want to entertain? Simply walk a lot. I spent two years of my
childhood in Riyadh in a compound
called (Al Safarat). Very warm
hearted people, very safe for kids to play around.
As I remember I used to ride my
bike all day long and play by sandy
parks, knock neighbors doors and
run away (bad child ha ;o)). |

Hi, I always like to read about Saudi and the places there. I lived there for 4 months in 2002 in Jeddah but I have also been to Dammam, Riyhad and Madina. I loved it and I even miss it sometimes. Take care Inga | Rumiya Tue Nov 23, 2004 08:59 UTC
