Riyadh

Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia and has a population of about 8 million, makes Ng it about the same as NYC. The city is located on a desert plateau, more or less in the center of the country.
I haven't taken many pictures as Riyadh is a thoroughly modern city that is similar to other places of extreme wealth that are building/rebuilding.
The 1st 2 pictures are taken from the sky bridge of the Kingdom Tower. This 302 meter tall building splits into 2 tower with the sky bridge between. The 3rd picture is the Kingdom Tower itself. The bottom several levels are a very high end mall with all the stores one would expect. You know, the ones I can't afford.
The 4th picture is a traditional Saudi welcome feast for the tour.Leggi altro
