Historic Diriyah

#travel #saudi #history Visited the ancient city of Diriyah in Saudi Arabia — a fascinating glimpse into the country’s rich history. Exploring the beautifully restored mud-brick At-Turaif district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, felt like stepping back in time. The traditional architecture, narrow alleys, and peaceful surroundings along Wadi Hanifah made for an unforgettable experience. A true cultural treasure!
