Al Aarrudh Garden

Unlike the more formal part of the park pictured below, which had nobody in it other than a few kids playing, this part had some families sitting on the grass. Maybe people here just prefer to relax and enjoy themselves under the shade of palm trees.

Lovely park. I'm sure any greenery is most appreciated. Vote.

That green is such a contrast to the shots from a few days ago, showing the desert sands around the camel pageant. This is a beautiful oasis. V
