Wadi gate

We took a drive out to the wadi near the DQ again because I wanted to photograph this gate, which I had missed on our first trip there (too complicated to turn around, drive through a restricted area, turn around again and try to take a picture unnoticed). It’s located across from the palace compound of the crown prince, where photography is strictly prohibited, but I figured that didn’t apply to this impressive gate.

An unusual minaret, posted earlier:
