| Riyadh Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see King Fahad Libaray King Fahad Libaray Samer Bassam Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia and lies on the great limestone plateau of Nejd in the centre of the Arabian Peninsula, some 2500 feet above sea level. In arabic the name literally means 'Gardens'. Being a former trade centre on the pilgrim route across the Peninsula, Riyadh has been a midpoint of attention for centuries. After the young Abdulaziz gained control of Riyadh in 1902, it was from this base that he gradually established control over a vast area from the Arabian Gulf to the Red Sea. This area became, in 1932, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Nowadays, Riyadh is a bustling metropolis with state-of-the-art architecture and a modern city infrastructure. Just 20 km outside Riyadh a visit to the old village of Dariyah is a must. From here the Saud family originated before it spread its power over the country. The village contains a number of Saud family palaces, in various states of restoration. Most buildings date back to the 1920-1930s, althought the village as a whole is about two centuries old. Reaching Dariyah is not easy and it is advisable for visitors who reach the place by taxi to make the driver wait. Taxis are not readily available at the location for the return trip. __________Sights Edit This [Add Sight] Masmakh Fortress Edit This The fort built of dried mud, is open Saturday to Wednesday from 7.30am to 1.30pm.

There is a well restored traditional majlis on the ground floor. The courtyard contains a well, which is still functional.

[modifica] StoriaCapitale del Najd da cui proviene la famiglia degli Āl Sa‘ūd, Riyād è una città moderna in cui risiedono le varie delegazioni diplomatiche accreditate con lo Stato saudita nonché le società commerciali con cui l'Arabia Saudita ha i suoi rapporti d'affari. La città contava nella prima metà degli anni '90
1.500.000 abitanti circa. Fu conquistata dall'Āl ("casato") Sa‘ūd di
al-Dar‘iyya (o Dir‘iyya) nel
1773 e
divenne la città di riferimento della stessa dinastia con Turkī b. ‘Abd
Allāh Āl Sa‘ūd nel 1823. Con l'ingresso a Mecca dei Sauditi il 13-12-1924 e la loro presa di potere a danno della famiglia dello sceriffo al-Husayn che aveva proclamato la rivolta araba nel corso della I guerra mondiale a fianco degli Alleati, il regno del Hijāz si trasformò, coi possedimenti già acquisiti dai Sauditi (tra cui al-Hasā), nel regno dell'Arabia Saudita.
[modifica] GeografiaLa città è situata sul vasto altopiano del Najd, al centro della Penisola arabica ed è capoluogo della provincia di al-Riyād. Ha una superficie di 1.554 km², l'altezza media del territorio cittadino è di 612 m s.l.m. ed è circondata dal deserto. Sulla sua superficie risiedono oltre 3.5 milioni di persone, pari a circa il 18% della popolazione complessiva dello Stato. È suddivisa in 17 distretti controllati dalla Riyadh Municipality e dalla Riyadh Development Authority, presiedute dal governatore della provincia di Riyād, l'emiro Salmān bin ‘Abd al-‘Azīz.
[modifica] ClimaRiyād è situata nella fascia climatica tropicale. La temperatura media è pari a 25,6° Celsius e le precipitazioni annue sono pari a 118 millimetri. Le temperature estive di giorno sono pari a 48-50° C mentre di notte scendono a 20° C. Il mese più caldo è luglio, con una media di 35,3° C; quello più freddo gennaio con 14,1° C. Il mese più piovoso è aprile, mentre tra giugno e ottobre le precipitazioni sono inesistenti. Le occasionali precipitazioni vengono captate grazie a bacini d'invaso regolati da cinque dighe. Al fabbisogno idrico provvedono inoltre 96 sorgenti e circa 467 km di tubi che portano enormi quantitativi d'acqua dagli impianti di desalinizzazione situati sulle rive del Golfo Persico. Le acque sono riciclate per l'irrigazione del verde pubblico con cui si tenta di arrestatre la progressione del circostante deserto.
