The right way to visit the National Museum of Saudi Arabia

To understand a civilization, visiting a museum is probably the fastest way. The National Museum of Saudi Arabia is probably the fastest way for you to get close to this country. When you walk to the entrance of the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, you will see many locals walking around to the back of the museum. Driven by curiosity, you will follow them. What comes into view is a green park 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 ​ In Riyadh, a city dominated by yellow, the garden here is designed very well, with a large area of green, which is simply a breath of fresh air. On the small hill, you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon. ​ A large family sits on the grass for a picnic, a group of children chase a football and play, and they will come over to take photos with you. The temperature is comfortable, and there are big trees to shade you. You will deeply understand the preciousness and loveliness of the green space. Walking out of the Green Heart Garden along the artificial waterway, there is a large playground and a mosque, and people have warm and hospitable smiles on their faces. ​ In the past, I only lamented that the Green Riyadh plan showed Saudi Arabia's strong financial resources. Now I think it is a very meaningful plan! In the future, Riyadh will have more green space and become a more livable, healthier, and more prosperous city! ​​ Start your journey of exploration in Saudi Arabia from the 2.75-ton meteorite at the entrance! 🚀 The content includes the introduction of the earth's geographical knowledge, topography, and landforms, the life of humans on the Arabian Peninsula in ancient times (about 7,500 years ago, equivalent to the Hemudu period), the origin of Arabic characters, the history of ancient Saudi tribes, the history of Muhammad's migration to Medina, the development and spread of Islam on and outside the peninsula, the history, cultural relics, and culture of the first mosque, etc. 📍Address: King Saud Rd, 2722, King Faisal Road, 8745, Riyadh (Google search) ⏰Opening hours: Closed on Sundays Monday to Wednesday, Saturday: 9:00 - 19:00 Thursday: 9:00 - 22:00 Friday: 14:00 - 22:00 🎟No need to book tickets in advance! Just register simply when entering. Large bags need to be stored for free, and cameras can be brought without using flash.
