| As usual, trying to find anything in Riyadh is virtually impossible and nothing on the web helps in any way to find this museum. Also, describing Riyadh as a beautiful city beggars belief. I would love to learn more about Saudi culture, but it must be said that the Saudis have only themselves to blame if no-one visits any so-called places of interest here. A map of the museum's location please. |
