Riyadh Gallery

Riyadh Gallery has the reputation of being one of the best shopping malls in the city, and I’d have to say it was much nicer (to me) than even the most luxurious malls like Kingdom Centre and Al-Faisaliyah. I’m not a big fan of shopping malls, but visiting them is definitely the thing to do here on the weekends, and we have to laugh every time we go to one, having fallen into Saudi habits. I must say, though, I don’t go for the shopping, but rather for the photo ops.

The photo ops are wonderful. Such a cool shot ! How pleasant to sit by the pool with a latte on a hot day (if lattes are available) V

I am no fan of malls either, but must say this one is fascinating and the photo ops would make for compelling reasons to go back any number of times. V

I agree with you, photographing is much more fun than shopping. This looks like a most impressive mall. Very nice shot.
