Circle
Photo walks: explore Riyadh with a camera and new friends
Photography turns an ordinary walk into an adventure, and a phone camera is all you need. This circle is for people who like exploring the city through a lens.
Where people do this in Riyadh
- Historic sites such as Al Masmak Fortress and the mud-brick lanes of At-Turaif in Diriyah.
- The skyline around KAFD, the Kingdom Centre and Al Faisaliah.
- Wadi Hanifah at golden hour.
How to find your people
- Pick a theme for each walk, such as doors, reflections or street life.
- Share your favourite shots afterwards and give each other a tip.
- Go at golden hour, which is also the coolest part of the day.
First plans for two
- A golden-hour walk in Diriyah
- Skyline shots around KAFD after dark
- A walk around Al Masmak and the old souqs, then tea
Good to know
Always ask before photographing people, and respect signs at sites where photography is limited. Sharing photos of someone without their consent can break the law in Saudi Arabia.
How the Photo walks circle works
Members of this circle start plans that anyone in the circle can join, like a game, a walk or a coffee, and answer one quick question a week. Plans are always in public places and arranged by members. Friendship only, for grown-ups 18 and over.
