Guard tower

Just above the wadi and across from the ruins, a traditional tower marks the entry to a private property.

*****

The Turaif district of Old Diriyah was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010 and underwent an extended period of restoration that is still ongoing. Diriyah was the original home of the Saudi royal family and served as the capital of the first Saudi dynasty from 1744 to 1818.

Beautiful light. Interesting to note that the private property has a traditional architectural desig style, or maybe it was a requirement of legislation as this was situated near a UNESCO World Heritage Site. V
