Stargazing in the Desert

Riyadh

بعد حوالي ساعة بالسيارة من مدينة الرياض، وصلنا إلى منطقة بها تلال من الحجر الرملي حيث نبدأ رحلتنا، ونستكشف دربًا يقدم لمحات من الماضي، عندما كان الناس يعتمدون على المياه الجوفية ويبنون الأسوار بالحجارة لحماية منازلهم. الماشية. اعتمادا على الموسم قد نلتقي ونحصل على فرصة التحدث مع بعض رعاة الجمال البدو. قبل غروب الشمس، نستمتع بالعشاء حول النار، مما يتيح لنا فرصة سماع بعض القصص السعودية، قبل أن نبدأ في التحديق في السماء والتعجب من الأبراج. نحن نقدم رؤى تاريخية حول المنطقة وتقاليد المجتمع القبلي قبل أن نعود إلى الرياض.

We drive for 30 minutes to Ad-Diriyah, located on the western bank of the Wadi Hanifah, a dry riverbed where water flows only after big rains. Ad-Diriyah used to be the capital of the Najd (the central plateau of the Arabian Peninsula) from the 15th century until the beginning of the 18th century. It is the birthplace of the first Saudi Kingdom and its importance in the history of the Arabian Peninsula was highlighted when it was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 2010, as the most brilliant example of Najdi architecture. The history of Ad-Diriyah goes back thousands of years as it was on an ancient trade and pilgrimage route, acting as a meeting point for those travelling to or from Asia, Africa and Europe. Our visit to the site allows us to admire its incredible architecture before returning to downtown Riyadh. As we drive towards the city , we have the opportunity to admire the rapid development of this cosmopolitan capital, planned by the Saudi government to become the biggest metropole in the Middle East in the next 10 years.
