We drove all around old Diriyah, but the weather was ugly and it just wasn’t a great day for pictures, although I took some anyway, to justify the trip.

There were a large number of people along the wadi having picnics, but it’s very difficult to photograph them unobtrusively. We can’t stop for a picture, and neither camera I had with me does well with drive-by shots. This family, gathered in front of the UNESCO World Heritage Site palace, were some of the people the “no smoking” sign below, for both hookahs and cigarettes, was posted for.
