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.

I tried contacting them begging their understanding for rescheduling or refund as with current flight issues we simply couldn’t get to the country. They ignored me completely! They already collected their payment so they didn’t care about us anymore!
