Diriyah is a very old historic settlement located on the outskirts of Riyadh. This site contains the ruins of the old city of Al-Diri'ya which has been/is being renovated and restored, Wadi Hanifa also goes through this site and is probably the best public park in Riyadh. Although I might argue that the Diplomatic Quarter is better for walking if you are a woman who prefers hikes without an abaya. #blue
