In Riyadh! Stayed at a perfect hotel with a beautiful pool

In Riyadh! Stayed at a perfect hotel 💯 with a beautiful pool 📍The hotel is located in Riyadh (Diplomatic Quarter), close to King Abdulaziz Conference Center, and close to King Saud University and Al Faisaliah Tower. 👍I have to say the service at the hotel is really good! We arrived at the hotel at 7 am that day, and the front desk agreed to an early check-in and enthusiastically upgraded us to a suite. The lobby and corridors are spacious and magnificent 🏰 The interior decoration of the guest rooms is inspired by traditional Saudi palaces, and all rooms are equipped with ironing facilities, in-room safes, etc. The welcome drink upon check-in was a black orange juice called Black Magic 🍹 and tea with a timer and small cookies, very delicate. The hotel's swimming pool 🏊‍♀️ is very unique, with a special shape, and is open to both men and women, and the water is constant temperature! The buffet breakfast 🥣 was free when we booked, and there were many local specialties, an Arabic coffee counter with many different types of dates, and a variety of vegetables and fruits 🥭 which was really great! There are really few vegetables and fruits in the local daily meals. 😋 What is special is that the hotel even has a Chinese restaurant called Hong, which mainly serves Sichuan cuisine and has been open for a long time. The dishes have been improved for the local taste, and overall it is good 👏 worth a try! · 🏨Hotel: The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh 📍Address: Area, Makkah Al Mukarramah Rd, Al Hada, Riyadh · Nearby attractions: Museum of Ancient Civilizations 👉 4-minute walk Sheikh Abdullah Bin Ajil Mosque 👉 7-minute walk Cultural Palace 👉 15-minute walk Kingdom Center 👉 10-minute drive The National Museum 👉 12-minute drive Murabba Historical Palace 👉 12-minute drive ·

Masjid Almurabba

This trip took me to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Under scorching sun, I journeyed near Masjid Almurabba, experiencing the city's "Edge of the World"—a fusion of vast desert and modern city. It was an absolute visual and sensory astonishment! Witnessing a distant figure walking amidst the desert Gobi was a scene rich with human touch. Modern architecture reflected traces of a bygone era. Combined with the sunny weather, the entire trip was breathtaking. 🔅Trip Highlights As the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh is not only a financial and cultural center, but also boasts stunning natural scenery. Just standing at the edge of the Gobi Desert and gazing out at the city skyline evokes a unique blend of desert and bustling city life. Weekdays are also relatively uncrowded, making it a perfect spot for travelers seeking a more tranquil experience. Visiting during the day for photos, the sunlight is bright and the colors are beautiful. Whether it's the surreal sense of emptiness or the integration of modern architecture, it's perfect for those seeking an Instagrammable vibe! 🌄 Recommended Attractions Masjid Almurabba (المربع) 📍Address: 3409 Al Hasana, 7868 Al Murabba, Riyadh 12612, Saudi Arabia We recommend visiting before 3:00 AM or before dark in the afternoon to explore the nearby desert and experience the connection between people and nature. If you spot someone walking in the desert from a distance, it's easy to capture the atmosphere of a lone traveler. The stark contrast between the person and the scenery creates a perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable moments. Watch the sunrise or sunset at the Cliff of the World. Time your trip to see the sun and moon shining together. Be sure to rent an off-road vehicle. 🕌 Neighborhood Tips - Masjid Almurabba itself is rich in history, while the surrounding architecture is primarily modern, perfect for adding a touch of exotic flair to your urban itinerary. After visiting Masjid, be sure to stroll along the streets to admire the urban fabric of Riyadh. The buildings' silhouettes are particularly striking under the slanting sun and the play of light and shadow. - Saudi Arabia experiences scorching daytime temperatures, so be sure to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated for outdoor activities. We also recommend comfortable walking shoes and a hat for sun protection to avoid heatstroke. 🍽️ Nearby Food Recommendations - There are numerous cafes and eateries near Masjid Almurabba. Try traditional Arabic coffee and date-based desserts while soaking up the authentic atmosphere. - Some restaurants close early in the afternoon, making it a great time for lunch. 🚗 Transportation Tips - You can take a local taxi or rent a car to reach Masjid Almurabba. It's recommended to travel in the morning or evening to avoid the midday heat. - There are walking paths along the surrounding roads, allowing you to explore Riyadh at your leisure, and it's easily accessible from the city center. 📇Practical Tips Photos in the desert and Gobi are easily captured, but be careful not to stray too far to avoid getting lost. Saudi Arabia has vast terrain, but signal strength can be weak in some areas. Download an offline map before your trip. If you enjoy minimalist landscapes and the fusion of city and desert, the Cliff of the World at Masjid Almurabba in Riyadh is a truly captivating photo spot. Bring your camera and capture your own perspective on the desert city! #SaudiArabia #RiyadhCheck-In #DesertJourney #City&Nature #HumanPhotography
