This enormous and beautiful park spans 50,000 square metres and provides an inviting green space for residents and visitors to relax and find respite from the bustle of the city. It has fountains and artificial waterfalls, areas for picnics, children's playgrounds, a cafeteria, and much more. The best time to enjoy this lush area is during sunset, when a cool wind takes away the sweltering heat of the day. The twinkling lights of the city will keep you company.
Do & See
The Al-Qassim region is quite unique in Saudi Arabia for green areas and agricultural prowess. The areas around Buraidah and Unaizah have some fascinating places to visit. Explore farms, orchards, palm tree plantations and the world's largest camel market. But the cities and towns themselves also offer travellers plenty of museums, parks and interesting sights, as well as heaps of entertainment in the form of excellent eating and shopping.
