KSA - Riyadh National Museum

One of the most beautiful museums I have every seen is located in Riyadh city.   Inside the National Museum, Riyadh, you can find a captivating display of Saudi Arabia's culture in past and present forms. There are different types of antiques, manuscripts, documents and display boards that showcase an era.

  Walking through The National Museum was like taking a walk through Arabia's rich history and the evolution of its culture.


The Saudi National Museum, is part of The King Abdul-Aziz Historical Center.  It was built to celebrate 100 years since the Saudi Unification.  The museum covers 28,000 square meters and includes exhibition halls, featuring artifacts, documents, manuscripts, display boards, multi-media presentations, films and documentaries which take you through Arabian history.





Palace corridors..incredible

 look what I found..ancient gold .. jewelry and coins


The museum takes you through history as it displays major influences which shaped Arabia and eventually the unification.. Pre-Islamic Era, Arabian Kingdoms, The Prophet's Mission, Hajj & The Two Holy Mosques, Unification of the Kingdom, First & Second Saudi States, Islam & the Arabian Peninsula.

Lush gardens inside and outside the palace grounds, this is where families gather on cool desert nights enjoying late dinners.  


The KSA Riyadh National Museum is a must for any traveller to Riyadh.. highly recommended!
