Our house, with a view

Hajer Garden is truly one of the nicest on the entire DQ. It doesn’t have any pavilions as other parks do, but is quite a pleasant natural setting, with two enormous water towers, many fountains and some playground equipment. Best of all, it’s right next to our house, which can be seen in the background. Too bad we can’t just scale the wall to get into the garden!

Ironically, we can't actually see into the park from the house due to privacy walls and such, but we do have a view of the trees from the lower floor and the garden.

It reminds me of a desert oasis. Lovely view of of the park and your house. Speaking of the water towers, where do they get the water to fill them? Voted.
