Wadi Namar

Wadi Namar is a nature park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, built around a lake and the valley that surrounds it. People come to spend unhurried time outdoors, whether that means a walk among the palms, a picnic-style meal with family, or an afternoon watching the water. The park's paths run for more than 2,000 metres, so there is plenty of room for a long stroll. Along the way you can watch flocks of ducks and small fish in the lake, and listen to the palm trees and the sound of falling water. Photographers tend to favour the sunset hours, and the valley lights reflected on the lake after dark make an evening visit worthwhile, although the park itself closes at 18:00. Food stalls serve fast food, there are play areas for children, and parking is available. , and there is no minimum age, so families can bring children of any age. The setting is a valley landscape where a dam holds back the lake. Water levels and any waterfall flow depend on the season, so what you see will vary through the year. It is worth keeping that in mind when choosing your dates, and our team can help you fit a visit into a wider Riyadh itinerary.
