King Abdullah Park, fountain

One of the places we visited on our last day in Saudi Arabia was King Abdullah Park, in Al Malaz, Riyadh, which we had heard was nice. Maybe it’s great at night when it’s packed with families and the fountain is colorfully lit up, but it was not so nice during the day, right before it opened to the public. I had a hard time even finding anything to photograph but took a few to mark the visit.

This is the man-made lake and famous fountain, which is colorfully lit up at night. I guess we picked the wrong time of day to go!

the size of the lake is surprising for a desert country...looks a useful green spot for locals to enjoy...
