Let the unknown beauty give you a brief survey of the suburbs Akariyah and Olaya in modern downtown Riyadh.
House of correct behaiviour and sense

Dira: Mutawa - Haus

Or shall we call it: House of fear or respect?
To be honest: You might feel a little bit strange when passing it between Fort Musmak and the great mosque.

Dira: old town / residential area

T H A N K S to the inhabitants of these houses who still keep alive the very few remaining traditional houses in Riyadh.

Pros:"climate and sun, female compounds strictly forbidden for men :-))"
Cons:"You get a plastic bag wherever you buy even the smallest item"
In A Nutshell:"Restrictions are a challenge."

 Your page is a welcome relief - I recently moved to Riyadh and am struck by negative perception of this great city, even locals. Very interested in Hash groups - could you direct me toward joining? Thank you for your positive attitude about Riyadh!
