Top Nature in Saudi Arabia

My advice is to time your visit for around 4 PM. The sunset views are absolutely stunning and it’s less crowded then.

I think it’s worth taking a dip in the water, but be mindful of the tides. The currents can get strong, and it was not what I expected!

I recommend checking the weather before you go! We got caught in a surprise rain shower, which was a bummer because we had to cut our day short.

Another thing I noticed is that the park has limited restroom facilities; they can get pretty busy. So it's smart to use the facilities at the entrance before venturing further in.

I recommend visiting Arruddaf Park in the early morning, like around 8am, when it's cooler and less crowded. You can snag a good picnic spot and enjoy the lush greenery before the sun gets too intense.

If you're on a budget, try to avoid the weekend crowds when the park's entry fees might be higher or include extra costs for events. I went on a Saturday and kind of regretted it.

I recommend visiting in the early morning, around 8 AM, to enjoy cooler weather and fewer crowds. It's really peaceful at that time!

If you want good photos without people in the background, head to the fountains around 9 AM. They look stunning without the crowd

Sunscreen is a must if you're visiting during the day—especially in summer! I forgot mine and really regretted it after a few hours.

My advice is to bring a picnic. There are plenty of nice spots to relax and enjoy a meal, and you'll save money instead of buying snacks in nearby cafes.

I suggest you visit early in the morning around 8 AM to beat the heat and the crowds. It was so peaceful at that time, and I could really enjoy the surroundings.

I recommend checking the weather before you go. I went on a hot day and regretted not bringing more water. Staying hydrated is super important!

I recommend staying hydrated. There aren't many stalls for drinks, so carry a bottle with you. It can get pretty hot during the day!

I think exploring the little shops before you leave is a must. They sell unique handicrafts and souvenirs that won't break the bank. You might find a cool treasure!

I suggest visiting in the late afternoon, around 4 PM, to enjoy the cooler weather and stunning sunset views over Riyadh. It's a beautiful sight!
