    [Scenery] Kingdom Center is a skyscraper located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with 41 floors and 302.3 meters high. [Cost-effectiveness] When it was completed in 2002, it surpassed Faisaliyah Center to become the tallest building in Saudi Arabia. It is currently the fourth tallest building in Riyadh and the fifth tallest in the country. It is the third tallest skyscraper in the world with a hollow exterior. [Fun] In addition to the shopping mall, there is also a Four Seasons Hotel and private luxury apartments. There is a 56-meter-long pedestrian bridge on the top of the building; the attached parking lot can accommodate 3,000 cars.

    How should I put it? This fountain is really nothing to see. Without the background of lights, it is just a white stream of water. It looks boring, but the scenery at night is pretty good. Some Saudis often bring their families to have picnics under the palm trees to enjoy the cool air. It is very pleasant.

    A free place to visit after 5pm and a massive place to tour with a wealth of history. We spend 3 hours exploring the site. It becomes even more grand with lightings at night. Great if you want to take some amazing pictures next to traditional Arab village houses. Lots of restaurants to try. We took a Uber to get there.

    It's free and tells some Saudi history and castle stories. There is an antique street next to it, selling local aroma wood, clothes, etc. It's also good to have some fun.

    Medina is the second holiest city in the Islamic world, and the Prophet Mosque in the city center is the spiritual home of Muslims worldwide, attracting pilgrims from all over the globe. Even at night, it remains bustling with people. Medina is now open to the world, and non-Muslim tourists can visit the mosque from the outside, admiring its magnificent architecture and beautiful nighttime views.

    I took an Uber. Heet cave is more than 40 kilometers away from the city. It is recommended to drive there by yourself. When the car is 2 kilometers away from the destination, it is a gravel road. The road condition is not very good and you need to drive slowly. You can enjoy the natural scenery and drive directly to the entrance of the cave. The landscape here has not been developed at all. There is no business. The slope is a bit steep when walking down from the cave entrance. Be careful when going down. There is a huge rock layer above the cave entrance (a bit oppressive, don't enter if you are timid). The scenery inside the cave is very good. There is a small canal with blue and clear water. There are birds nesting in the cave. I met a few Saudi guys who just went up from here to swim, but I felt that swimming would not be safe. After all, there are rock layers above and it has not been developed. Safety is still the first priority. The scenery below is really beautiful, the water is very clear and warm. After a short stop to take pictures, I returned the same way. I sighed at the uncanny work of nature. The free attractions are still good.
