My city: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia


 

                    I live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is the capital and the largest city in the country. The city has a lot of people and is pretty packed but is still chill. I like this place because there is so many things to do. You can visit the Masmak Fort, Jabal al-Lawz, the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, the Jawatha Mosque, and Royal Saudi Air Force Museum. There's a lot to sight see as well.
                    For people who are not just visiting but live here regularly it is a good place to go shopping. There is a lot of stores and malls. I enjoy the Masmak Fort a lot out of the attractions because a lot of students visit it too. It is a huge castle and it represents the turning point in King Abdulaziz's efforts to unify the country. It is a nice learning place which why many students visit it too. It is open to the public, it is now kind of like a museum.
                   At night the city is very bright with all the lights because there is so many big buildings. Most people who live in the city as me, Riyadh live in apartments because there is so little space and it is expensive to own a house in this city. Theft is very high in the city since there is so many people living here trying to afford their apartments, etc. so you want to make sure you keep your valuables locked up, etc.
                  Overall I think this is one of the best cities to live in if you are thinking about moving to Saudi Arabia. There is a lot of things that take place. Other cities don't really have a lot you can do but this city is full of various activities and attractions. Like I said there is a lot of crime but if you look past that it is a beautiful city to live in. There's many things to not only do but be apart of in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
