Green wadi

View of the ruins from across the wadi, whose planting was underway the last time we visited together in 2016.

The Turaif district of Old Diriyah was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010. Diriyah was the original home of the Saudi royal family and served as the capital of the first Saudi dynasty from 1744 to 1818.

The landscaping and vegetation did wonders to soften the dry and desert-like appearance of the place. Nice shot! V

A beautiful aera !
I imagine the quantity of water used for taking care of the plants in a country where oil flows more easily than water...
