    [Scenery] Kingdom Center is a skyscraper located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with 41 floors and 302.3 meters high. [Cost-effectiveness] When it was completed in 2002, it surpassed Faisaliyah Center to become the tallest building in Saudi Arabia. It is currently the fourth tallest building in Riyadh and the fifth tallest in the country. It is the third tallest skyscraper in the world with a hollow exterior. [Fun] In addition to the shopping mall, there is also a Four Seasons Hotel and private luxury apartments. There is a 56-meter-long pedestrian bridge on the top of the building; the attached parking lot can accommodate 3,000 cars.

    How should I put it? This fountain is really nothing to see. Without the background of lights, it is just a white stream of water. It looks boring, but the scenery at night is pretty good. Some Saudis often bring their families to have picnics under the palm trees to enjoy the cool air. It is very pleasant.

    A free place to visit after 5pm and a massive place to tour with a wealth of history. We spend 3 hours exploring the site. It becomes even more grand with lightings at night. Great if you want to take some amazing pictures next to traditional Arab village houses. Lots of restaurants to try. We took a Uber to get there.

    It is the most serene and peaceful place on earth. In case you want to pay a visit to Rawda Al-Shareefah to the ladies' side, don't forget to book an appointment from the Nusuk app ahead of time, at least 3 weeks in advance.I would like to see more funding going for the unrestricted flow and organization of the masjid.

    The location is very remote, basically undeveloped, with a lot of garbage. Just drive to the abandoned hut and climb down if you are brave enough. The water is not very clean, but the cliffs are very spectacular.
