Ruin

On the day before we left Riyadh for good, we were provided with a driver to take us wherever we wanted to go. One place was the National Museum of Saudi Arabia for a final visit.

A very old ruin, but I’m not sure what part of the country or what era it’s from.

How Riyadh has changed! posted earlier:

they have moved beyond adobe here...must have been a job to move and install.

Very clear shot of the wall fragment. I wonder if it was brought to the museum in one piece. V

Looks like quite an interesting museum and you captured this one very nicely under the difficult lighting! V

Interesting that this structure was built with uniform bricks - seems that some of the old forts you posted a while back didn't have bricks like these. V
