King Fahd International Stadium (4)

This is called the “The Pearl of Stadiums” or just “The Pearl” in Arabic and is used mainly for football matches. I had always wanted to see it, but it’s way far out on the edge of the city and we never managed to get there until now. Pretty desolate neighborhood, and I doubt we’ll get back there.
