Diriyah, Riyadh

The ruins of the Saud family home town sound interesting and lie on either side of Wadi Hanifah in the suburbs of Riyadh but they were a big disappointment, I drove twice along the road in the centre of the wadi but the whole area is one huge building site.

When the restoration is complete it looks like it could be really interesting but at the moment most roads are closed off and you have to play 'cat and mouse' with construction traffic. Not recommended as a place to visit.
