Old Riyadh Saudi Arabia

A century ago, Riyadh was a small desert settlement of mud brick houses and a fortress. Now it's a gleaming capital of glass, steel and motorways. In the historical center of Riyadh there are a few places that attract the few people who come sightseeing here. The Masmak fortress is still there, and is worth visiting. Built of mud, it gives a good insight in traditional Arabian architecture. Next to it is Deera Square, also known as 'Chop Chop Square'. It looks pretty, but don't visit on Friday mornings, which is when public executions take place... Located on the outskirts of Riyadh, Diriyah is a UNESCO World Heritage destination and the birthplace of the first Saudi state. Rooted in leadership, culture, and faith, the city blends Najdi architecture with modern experiences, inviting visitors to explore historic alleys, enjoy open-air dining, and discover Saudi heritage in a setting where history remains part of daily life.
