Al Rayhaan Garden

Arrayhaan (basil) Garden is small and set among homes under construction (the garden may not be quite finished, either). We found it on a map at the last garden we visited, so thought we’d check it out. The garden itself is pretty unremarkable, but it’s located right on the wadi so has a huge expanse of trees behind it, and also has something that looks like an amphitheater right next to it.

I love the detail making this such a pleasant place to relax - the bougainvillea is the icing on the cake :) V

Love the mix of geometric lines and shapes with nature.
Works really well. A pleasure to view.

I find this an especially beautiful image, with the juxtaposition of the vivid red flowers and sand coloured structure. V
