Masmak Fortress

Fortress surrounded by sand, this squat fortification was built around 1865 and is like a scene out of the movies: a big fortress representing an empire. It was the site of a daring 1902 raid by Ibn Saud, during which a spear was hurled at the main entrance door with such force that the head is still lodged in the doorway. Highlights among the exhibits include maps and fascinating photographs of Saudi Arabia dating from 1912 to 1937, in galleries converted from diwans (living rooms).

Roofs are covered with painted palm-tree, taramic and ethel wood and exude an old-world charm that evokes an Arabian painting. Inside, the information panels and short, chest-thumping films on the storming of the fortress and the ‘reunification’ of Saudi Arabia are reverential towards the Al Sauds but worth watching nonetheless.

Tuwaiq Palace Heart Tent

Formerly known as the Diplomatic Club, the views of Riyadh are spectacular. But the outside views aren’t the only reason to visit this spot. It’s home to the Heart Tent, a stunning structure that looks like a giant tent made from stained glass.

Being inside the tent feels like entering an oasis. Events for foreigners are held here, so you’ll see some typically tabu activities such as men and women smoking Shisa in the same area. The event area is a comfortable outdoor environment with Arab-styled couches, tables, and more. Tuwaiq Palace is in the Diplomatic Quarter (the DQ) which requires going through a checkpoint to enter and non-foreigners may have restricted access. An Uber driver may not feel comfortable driving all the way into the DQ to the Tuwaiq, so you may have to exit at the Starbucks and walk.

Enjoy your stay in Saudi Arabia!
